This Is Going To Hurt
Golden Globe, Emmy and BAFTA winner Ben Whishaw stars in Adam Kay's adaptation of his best-selling memoir about life as a junior doctor, for BBC One.
This hilarious - and often heart-breaking - series follows a fictionalised version of Adam as he juggles being a good doctor and a good person, in a system that sometimes feels like it's against him.
Set in obstetrics and gynaecology, the series reveals the unvarnished realities of Adam's life on and off the ward: 97-hour weeks, life and death decisions, a tsunami of bodily fluids - and a personal life forced into second place. All for an hourly rate that struggles to compete with the hospital parking meter. A stark reminder of the vital role played by medics like Adam everywhere.
Also includes bonus features.
