Dr. Caroline Todd - Surgical Registrar
The newest doctor to the hospital, Caroline has a unique talent of getting
herself into embarrassing or awkward situations (for example when she
blocked Guy's toilet with a "monster that wouldn't go down"). She also
seems to possess a subliminal sexual prowess, with Mac, Guy, Martin and even
Sue White on occasion all seeking her attentions. Caroline, however seems
to have her sights firmly set on Mac (well, after much wavering between him
and Guy) but that won't stop her being caught up in the most surreal
situations around.
Dr. Mac McCartney - Surgeon
Probably the most popular member of staff - Mac is clever, witty, pretty and, as Sue White says, "has hair like
a lion's mane". Partial to riding naked on motorbikes, Mac never knows
when to be serious and finds it difficult to express his emotions. However,
he is always useful to have in a crisis (unless it's a wasp in theatre),
especially when your hanging off of the edge of a cliff in an ambulance!
He is respected and loved by everyone, and much to Sue White's disappointment,
finally got together with Dr. Todd at the end of series one (or did he - we won't spoil series two here). The
biggest question on everybody's lips: just what is Mac's first name?
Dr. Guillaume Secretan (aka Guy) - Anaesthetist
Guy likes to profess that he has it all: the looks, the money, the
intelligence, and the way with the ladies. This is of course despite the
fact he has been compared to the donkey in Shrek, thought "Kissing In The
Toilet" was a George Michael song and has not had very much luck seducing
Dr. Todd.
The anesthetist of the hospital, Guy doesn't really care about
anyone except himself and when he's not thinking or talking about women he
is attempting to beat Mac in all kinds of bets and games (for example,
trying to get him to name five famous lesbians) and bullying Martin.
However, Guy experienced a huge shock when he found out Martin was
in fact his half-brother and Joanna Clore was his mum!
Dr. Martin Dear - House Officer
Nothing ever goes right for poor Martin, a hospital intern. He constantly
fails all his hospital exams, his mum (Joanna) tries her best to ignore him as much
as possible and he is completely besotted with Dr. Todd though she sees him
as nothing more than a friend.
Extremely shy, Martin is bullied endlessly by Guy and can hardly ever stick up for himself, though Mac is always on
hand to look out for him. One little ray of hope for Martin though is that he's been on a couple of dates with office girl
Karen so things may improve for him yet!
Joanna Clore - Head of Human Resources
Joanna, the hospital administrator, is (with good reason) extremely worried
about getting older and spends a lot of her time exercising and eating
healthily (though this won't prevent her from scoffing a huge tray of cakes
in the hospital canteen). Her son Martin works at the hospital too, but she
tries her best to avoid him - after all, she doesn't want anyone to know
she's old enough to be a mum!
Joanna spent a brief while trying to get together
with Lyndon in the IT department, but perhaps turning up at his office
wearing nothing but a coat wasn't the best way to go about it! She also has
a "secret" on-off relationship with Alan Statham (which of course the whole hospital knows
about). She initially dumped Alan after he became even more clingy than normal however soon ended up on the run from the law with him.
She is one of the moodier members of staff, known to bark orders at her staff (not
that that scares them into working) and getting... close... to vibrating beds.
Dr. Alan Statham - Consultant in Imaging and Radiology
The fussy, bumbling and stuttering Consultant Radiologist likes to believe
he is in control of the hospital when in reality he is just the butt of
everyone's jokes. Alan gets upset very easily, and has the worst comeback lines ever. He has a bunch of weird fetishes, including playing his
recorder whilst in his boxers, and gets caught in the most bizarre
situations (for example when he was comparing the size of his penis to a
corpse's).
Alan is completely devoted to Joanna (groping her at any
chance he can get). When Joanna dumped him he turned to Jesus for
guidance but that didn't seem to get him far (with the female chaplin). Before long
he was back with Joanna and on the run from the law in a campervan.
Sue White
Basically a complete lunatic, Sue isn't exactly the best Staff Liaison Officer in the world (best shown when she told an upset member of staff to
"take that book on dealing with difficult people and f**k off!") and gets
all her clothes from the "dead box" (which is filled with deceased patient's outfits).
Sue spends most of her time winding everybody up; though she did try to help
Martin when he couldn't find clothes to wear for a party (the fact that she choose bright pink combats and a glow in the dark t-shirt for him is besides the
point).
Completely obsessed with Mac, Sue would do anything for him - even
become a murderer! With Sue around, life in the hospital will certainly never be dull.
Boyce - Junior House Officer
The bane of Alan Statham's life, most of Boyce's time in the hospital is
spent winding up the senior consultant and trying to find new ways to
suggest Alan is gay (perhaps the most spectacular attempt was projecting a lewd
cartoon image on the outside hospital wall).
Boyce once bought Dr. Statham for 30p in a slave auction and ended up sleeping in the same bed with him thus
leaving him with plenty more opportunities for homosexual innuendo. Hospital Intern Boyce is also well known for an extremely memorable
rendition of Tainted Love outside the hospital grounds and other general dancing moments. As Mac and Martin would say, very "fun-keh" indeed.
When Alan goes on the run Boyce finds himself strangely missing Alan.
Dr. Angela Hunter - Senior Registrar, Paediatrics
An utter perfectionist, Angela Hunter is the most anal retentive person in the
hospital. Also bright and bouncy, Angela drives Caroline up the wall yet
somehow still managed to become her new flatmate. However things don't
run smoothly between the two, and the tensions escalated when Angela
accused Caroline of stealing her knickers because she wanted to be her!
Overall though, Angela seems to have it all: she's gorgeous, she has a great
boyfriend and an all-over all great life. Well perhaps -
she moved to America to become a film star during series two - if you've seen the Special episode you'll know what happened to her!
Harriet Schulenberg - Human Resources
Probably the most stressed member of staff at the hospital, the admin
department wouldn't be the same without Harriet bringing in a handbag full
of mashed potatoes or wearing a cardigan covered in fuzzy felt animals.
Hopelessly absent-minded, thanks to being the mother of three children,
Harriet spends more time on the school run every morning than actually
working (this might have something to do with the fact that she sometimes
forgets to actually take the kids to school and so they end up running riot
in the hospital carpark).
She is now expecting another child but who is the father? Harriet and Lyndon were seen getting intimate in series two!
Karen Ball - Human Resources
The odd one out in every situation, Karen never seems to smile (or in fact
show any extreme emotion) and this makes her invisible to everyone else or
just a target for their teasing. Another member of staff to get herself
into embarrassing situations with amazing ease, one of Karen's more
memorable moments was when she somehow got her hair stuck in the printer
(but of course even that didn't faze her).
Karen was completely obsessed with Martin however it was unrequited love until series two. Before long she had tired of Martin. Her fall out of the window at the end of series two brought about a drastic change to her personality (and hand) - see the Special episode to understand what we're talking about!
Naughty Rachel - Human Resources
One of the admin staff at the hospital, naughty Rachel has been given that
name for a good reason (after all, she "always f***s on the first date"). Not
known for her modesty, Naughty Rachel enjoys weighing her breasts to see
how much it would cost to post one to various countries. She also regularly torments Karen.
Kim Alabaster - Human Resources
Another one of the admin staff, Kim is loud and never afraid to speak her
mind. She seems to be given most of the work from Joanne but that doesn't
stop her from playing games with the rest of the HR staff. She is currently
embarking on a relationship with Boyce - hopefully this boyfriend won't get his sperm in her eye!
Lyndon Jones - IT Department
You've got to feel sorry for Lyndon. He tried to quietly get on with his work in the I.T. department, but ended up unwittingly getting caught in a love triangle between himself, Joanna and Dr Statham - though he never had any interest in Joanna whatsoever!
Lyndon has been involved in tug of wars, bought by Joanna at a slave auction and even had Joanna practically naked in his office!
Lyndon tries to keep himself to himself, so we don't know too much more about him.
One shock was that he had a relationship with Harriet! |
