Publisher's summary

WARNING: CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT AND LANGUAGE

They’re back! The all-star cast multi-award-winning cult hit comedy returns, with more surreal goings-on in the lives and loves of the doctors and staff at East Hampton Hospital (warning: contains very little medical content).

Green Wing: Resuscitated picks up 12 years after the events of Green Wing, and it's all change at East Hampton Hospital... Guy Secretan (Stephen Mangan) has become a media personality, adding TV appearances and podcasts to his work as an anesthetist; 'Mac' MacCartney (Julian Rhind-Tutt) has returned from several near-death experiences to pick up as a surgeon, and Caroline Todd (Tamsin Greig) has been making waves in America as a medical pioneer. There have been promotions for both Harriet Schulenberg (Olivia Colman) who is now East Hampton's Head of HR, and Boyce (Oliver Chris), who has been made head of radiology. This doesn't mean that Alan Statham (Mark Heap) has left the hospital - while his killing spree with Joanna Clore (Pippa Haywood) lead to her being imprisoned, his lawyers got him off with a spell in psychiatric care, and he has returned to work under Boyce. Not everyone has changed circumstances, though - Sue White (Michelle Gomez) remains as East Hampton's staff liaison officer, and Martin Dear (Karl Theobald) is still not a doctor, despite having been training for the exams since we last saw him…

Please tell me there will be more!

I had long since given up hope that we'd ever receive more seasons of what's easily one of the greatest (yet inexplicably criminally underrated) British ensemble comedy series. So absolutely everything about these six audio episodes feels like an outrageous gift.

As excited as I immediately was to find out this was happening, I also wondered how on earth they could capture the same madcap magic without the visual comedy and video editing artistry. Oh, but they did - thanks to this outstanding cast, who seem to have slipped effortlessly back into their respective characters, writing that's as sharp and hilarious as ever, and brilliant audio engineering. Bravo!

I recognize that reassembling this stellar cast was no mean feat. But now that they've proven it can be done without missing a beat, please tell me that we'll eventually get more. I want... a bushel.

Brilliant revisit

Loved this. Was so surprised when I discovered that GreenWing was back and with the original cast! Loved the original show on TV and always thought it was one of the most underrated comedy shows but it finished at the right time as it did “jump the shark” in the final series! - with a stellar cast to boot who all went on to greatness. To get them back after years is brilliant.
I think it probably helps I knew the characters so well but the quality and intelligence of the humour shines through with Mark Heap still my favourite even though you can’t see his physical clowning.
Brilliantly acted and performed, great script,
Loved it. Thank you to all involved.

Hilarious Resuscitation

Brilliant revival of the noughties comedy. The transition from screen to podcast works well. Even my 12 year old thought it was very funny - and I don’t think that was just because of the occasional F-bomb.

Like being wrapped up in warped, wonderful embrace

I didn't know how they could possibly pull it off, but by gum, it is everything fans of Green Wing could have wished for and more! (Or at least this fan.) All your favorites are here, even down to the sound design. It picks up a few years after where the movie/special ended and doesn't miss a cartwheel down the corridor. If you've missed these characters and the writing and this world, dive into this and swim with joy through the hospital halls!

If you haven't seen Green Wing, track down the TV series and watch before listening. There are so many Easter egg delights!

May this be renewed for a bajillion seasons more!!

Wonderful to hear these voices again

So fantastic! I had no idea this was coming, which is almost better. Great reunion.
