Dr. Caroline Todd - Surgical Registrar

played by Tamsin Greig

Dr. Caroline Todd (Tamsin Greig) 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

Dr. Mac McCartney (Julian Rhind-Tutt) 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

played by Stephen Mangan

Guy Secretan (Stephen Mangan) 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

played by Karl Theobald

Dr Martin Dear (Karl Theobald) 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

played by Pippa Haywood

Joanna Clore (Pippa Haywood) 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

played by Mark Heap

Dr. Alan Statham (Mark Heap) 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

played by Michelle Gomez

Sue White (Michelle Gomez) 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

played by Oliver Chris

Boyce (Oliver Chris) 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

played by Sarah Alexander

Dr. Angela Hunter (Sarah Alexander) 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

played by Olivia Colman

Harriet Schulenberg (Olivia Colman) 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

played by Lucinda Raikes

Karen Ball (Lucinda Raikesn) 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

played by Katie Lyons

Naughty Rachel (Katie Lyons) 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

played by Sally Bretton

Kim Alabaster (Sally Bretton) 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

played by Paterson Joseph

Lyndon Jones (Paterson Joseph) 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!
