Product Description

This lavish period drama tells the story of Eleanor Bramwell, a pioneering female doctor in the late nineteenth century, and the struggles she has with her friends, her colleagues and society. Determined to take the medical profession out of the dark ages, her strongly held opinions often draw her into conflict with the chief surgeon, a man keener on tradition than he is on progress.

Editorial Correction
Note to Editor - Mr. Calder playes her FATHER. Miss Bramwell is unmairried through season 2.

A touch more graphic than our US programs - even ER. But very realistic to bring the horrors of medicine - especially at this time.

Interesting drama. Not a lot of character development - but a fine series - I concur the plots get a bit repetitive - but it is a worhy way to spend your TV time.

FINALLY !!!!
We saw the beginning, we saw the end. Now, 2 years later, it will be interesting to see what makes up this Series 2 release -- since the series 1 release included several episodes of of the actual series 2. Too much to hope for the complete fill-in of this compelling drama??
