The first three series of the BBC medical sitcom following the fortunes of the staff on an NHS hospital ward. Beset by killer viruses, egomaniacal consultants and endless paperwork, the overworked and underpaid staff of ward B4 struggle on regardless. Snowed under by her workload, neurotic Ward Sister Flixter (Joanna Scanlan) is forced to rely on the talents of seen-it-all-before nurse Kim Wilde (Jo Brand), while trying to avoid the attentions of over-egging Ward Doctor Pippa Moore (Vicki Pepperdine).

Set in the geriatric ward of an NHS hospital, Getting On is centred around three brilliantly observed members of hospital staff – return-to-practice nurse Kim Wilde (Jo Brand), the lowest form of life on the ward after the lino; Sister Den Flixter (Joanna Scanlan), drowning in paperwork and beset by personal problems and the jargon-fuelled, stool-obsessed, ward doctor, Pippa Moore (Vicki Pepperdine). The black comedy flows thick and fast as the staff get on with the daily round of bowel movements and hip problems whilst battling the endless form-filling, self-obsessed consultants, cuts and bickering in the furthest backwaters of the NHS. Special Features: Interviews with Kim Wilde, Sister Den Flixter and Dr Pippa Moore
