Getting On - new comedy drama series for 91Èȱ¬ Four
|
Jo Brand, Joanna Scanlan and Vicki Pepperdine star in a 91Èȱ¬ Four comedy of characters "getting on" with it in an overlooked
corner of the health service.
Ìý
Devised, written and performed by all three cast and directed
by Peter Capaldi, Getting On (working title) takes its subject matter – the
care of the elderly – and gets to the heart, the hips and the
bowels of it.
Ìý
Darkly funny, tough and compassionate, Getting On follows the
daily lives of nurses as they go about their routine tasks.
Ìý
Messy choices are the order of the day in a world where
necessity produces its own solutions: the story of one ward,
in one hospital, which almost all of us will one day
experience ourselves – whether we like to admit it or not.
Ìý
A Vera production for 91Èȱ¬ Four, the 3x30-minutes series is currently in production for broadcast early in 2009.
