All six episodes from the third series of the early 1990s medical drama following the fortunes of the staff of an NHS teaching hospital outside Manchester. Tom Baker stars as seen-it-all-before surgeon Professor Geoffrey Hoyt, with Peter Wingfield co-starring as the self-confident student doctor, Alex Taylor. In this series, there is a tragic undercurrent to the opening of the hospital's new cardiac unit, while Geoffrey struggles to deal with the looming loss of his wife to serious illness. Elsewhere, Toby (Jo Stone-Fewings) finds himself in hot water after breaking a confidentiality pact and Claire (Francesca Ryan) gives birth.
