life in emergency ward 10 (1959)

The lives, loves and medical drama's of a hospital and the doctors and nurses that work there. There are two major events in the life of the hospital, a 7 year old child with a hole in his heart, who needs an operation, and a woman (Joan Sims) who is about to give birth to quads. Unrest comes in the form of Dr. Stephen Russell (Michael Craig) the new medical registrar who puts a few noses out of joint. Things come to a head when he learns that people are talking about his relationship with another doctor's wife.
Based on the highly popular TV soap opera Emergency Ward 10, that ran for over 10 years and a thousand episodes. This is a well acted little drama, centered on
Oxbridge General Hospital, that tries to develop the stories further than TV soaps, and wring as much drama out of the child's operation as physically possible.
