Children's Ward

Fiona is knocked down by a car whilst running away to a concert. But her mum nearly causes another accident when she slaps a hot cup of tea from Mags's hand. Dave is stressed the new doctor hasn't arrived, and makes sure everybody knows it.

An over-keen new boy nurse causes a series of mishaps, Keely has her eye on a gorgeous stud who's been visiting Billy, and a nasty nasty man combines a sweet treats trolley with a lemon sour manner.

Fiona's still in a coma, but the other kids disown her. Gary is more interested in awkwardly chatting up Diane than making amends for his mishaps. Alex is at risk of not seeing half of these silly antics.

Mrs. Brett starts to behave like an acceptable human being after her stern talking to by Dave, but his school-masterly manner does not work as well on Billy. A gypsy dumps her boy in the children's ward without so much as a sprig of heather.

Billy continues with his coke habit - the liquid kind. The kids take their revenge on the terrible trolley tyrant. Something is afoot with Darren. The staff worry about gypsy George fitting in, but it's another kind of fit that's the problem.

Billy is a bully. Dave jealously guards his jealousy over Charlotte's engagement.

After downing vodka in a way that even a seasoned alcoholic would struggle with, Billy loses his bottle. Mags keeps riding her bike, but she's on the road to nowhere. McKeown says och aye to Alex's operation.

Priorities are all over the place when Tiffany puts meeting a radio disc jockey over a holiday in Spain, and Billy's parents would rather squabble than help their son.

Ben's inability to lose weight is a cause for concern. Meanwhile, Keely's weight loss causes concern.

The staff get to the nitty gritty of the head lice problem. Suzanna is happy with her nose, and knows what makes her happy. The problem child finally shows some vulnera-Billy-ty. Sleeping Beauty's eyes are opened. Dean's been mean.

A game of musical romances begins, both on the staff and the patient side. The wanderer returns, in the form of George's father. Fiona's dreams are driving her silly.

McKeown takes the high road by retiring early. Billy gets less silly by mentioning the meal he saw flushed by Keely.

The old forgotten birthday cover for surprise party is wheeled out for Alex's 12th. But there is a far less predictable twist in the tail of this first series.
