Medical ethics and personal values are called into question in this powerful drama from Paula Milne, writer of award-winning series The Politician’s Wife

Played by Madness Of King George star, Nigel Hawthorne, eminent surgeon Edgar Pascoe has all the coolness and arrogance of a man at the top of the tree. But underneath, cracks are beginning to show.

Rudely aware of his own mortality – he has a heart murmur – Pascoe’s marriage is failing and he is under investigation by the General Medical Council following the death of a patient. On a politically charged visit to China, Pascoe's eyes are opened to some deeply unethical medical practices and, finally, is forced to look at his own conscience.
