It was created by the same team behind the show – Channel 4 commissioner Caroline Leddy and producer – and stars,. Although set in a hospital, it uses no storylines; the action is produced by a series of -style twists and turns in the personal lives of the characters. They proceed through a series of often absurd sketch-like scenes, or by sequences where the film is slowed down or sped up, often emphasising the of the characters. The show had eight writers. Two series were made by the company for.

The series ran between 3 September 2004 and 19 May 2006. One episode, filmed with the second series, was shown as a 90-minute-long on 4 January 2007 in the UK, but was shown earlier in Australia and Belgium on 29 December 2006. Separate from the series, a sketch was made for and screened on 11 March 2005. Another was performed live at on 14 October 2006. Contents. Synopsis Green Wing's plot revolves around the lives of the staff of the East Hampton Hospital Trust, a fictional hospital with staff ranging from the slightly unusual to the completely surreal.

The series begins with a new arrival, surgical. She suffers from constant and bad luck, stumbling from one crisis to the next due to a mixture of her own neurosis, impulsiveness, and general misfortune. Caroline works alongside two other doctors: , an arrogant, half-Swiss, and , a suave, desirably fashionable. It is not long before Caroline begins to develop feelings for both of them, though she is unsure as to which of the two she truly loves. Throughout the series, it becomes clear that Mac is her true love, but a range of misadventures prevent their relationship from flourishing. Other people Caroline meets include , a friendly who is constantly failing his exams.

He is unloved by his mother and is often bullied by Guy. Martin soon develops feelings for Caroline, and begins to fall in love with her.

There is also , a seemingly-perfect, but irritating, senior registrar in. Whilst Angela appears to mean well, Caroline cannot stand her and despite her best efforts to avoid Angela, she ends up as Caroline's lodger. The main characters in Green Wing. From left to right, Alan (Heap), Joanna (Haywood), Angela (Alexander), Caroline (Greig), Martin (Theobald), Guy (Mangan), Mac (Rhind-Tutt), Sue (Gomez) and Boyce (Chris) Caroline's main rival for Mac's affections is , the Scottish staff liaison officer employed to listen and respond to the problems of East Hampton's staff. However, Sue is perhaps the least suited person for the job; she is mean-spirited, insensitive, unsympathetic, controlling and vain. Her office is a place where the impossible tends to happen, and anyone who enters is normally treated with a mixture of verbal abuse and psychological torture, so she can get back to doing nothing, or thinking about how to upset the next visitor. The only person she treats with any affection is Mac, whom she loves to the point of madness, but Mac, like almost everyone else, tries his best to avoid her.

Anyone who attempts to get involved with Mac is treated with contempt and hatred by Sue, in particular Caroline, whom Sue attempts several times to murder. Perhaps the most eccentric member of staff is , an overbearing, and pedantic, whose everyday actions regularly border on insanity. He is desperately and hopelessly in love with , the 48-year-old head of with an increasingly attitude. Their relationship is an open secret, with student doctor , often using it as a weapon against them, bullying Alan constantly. Joanna's human resources staff also use it against her, in particular Kim Alabaster , who has a bad attitude towards most of the people she meets, and Naughty Rachel , who earned her nickname due to her love of. The other HR staff include , an overworked mother of four trapped in an unhappy marriage, and Karen Ball , who divides her time between doing much of the office's work, trying to attract Martin's affections, and being bullied by Kim and Rachel. The human resources characters in Green Wing.

From left to right, Kim (Bretton), Rachel (Lyons), Harriet (Colman) and Karen (Raikes). Creation Writers and crew Green Wing was devised, created and produced. She was also the, one of the writers and was involved in the editing, filming. She described Green Wing as 'a sketch-meets-comedy-drama-meets-soap', and a continuation of her previous show, where Green Wing's crew also worked. Unusually for a British sitcom, which normally have only one or two writers, the show had eight: Pile, her husband,. Pile and her co-writers initially used battery packs to represent characters, moving them around on her desk to develop scenarios for the show.

The decision to make the characters doctors came later. Pile recalls that she mentioned to Peter Fincham that a hospital setting would work well and that he subsequently reported that Channel 4 were enthusiastic about a hospital location, which settled the matter. Even later still, a plot was developed and wall charts were used to mark up.

The show was directed and edited (along with Pile). Sketches were sped up or slowed down to create comic effect, often using to create humour. Editing was also used due to the amount of that occurred during the filming of the show. Tamsin Greig was said to corpse frequently, and episodes were written to minimise the contact between the characters of Caroline Todd and Alan Statham because Greig found it difficult not to laugh when acting alongside Mark Heap. The music, which plays prominently in the show, was written by (under the name 'Trellis') and won him an Craft & Design Award. Production Following her success with, gave Pile a fairly free hand with her next project.

Their only requirement was that it should have enough of a to make it more of a sitcom than a sketch show. The show had a half-hour pilot made in 2002 that was never aired. Scenes from the pilot were used in the first episode, 'Caroline's First Day', and can be spotted due to the characters' appearance, most notably Rhind-Tutt's haircut. The pilot allowed the writers to experiment, such as using different filming techniques. In the pilot, played Joanna Clore and was meant to play her in the original series, but left when she became pregnant. Although each script is fully written, the actors are allowed to improvise their own jokes, frequently adding to what has already been written. Normally are used to allow actors to improvise their own material.

One example of improvised material was Stephen Mangan's idea of Guy falling in love with Caroline. Rusling, Howe, Messina and Harley all have had speaking parts in the show, most notably Harley playing Charles Robertson, the hospital's CEO. The show's crew also make appearances in the show as extras. For example, Pile's former assistant Phil Secretan (after whom Guy is named) appears at the end of a scene in the first episode. Henry appears in the background during Martin's exam in the episode, 'Tests'.

The filming was done at two hospitals, the in and the in. This presented a problem because the show had to work around the real-life hospitals, with their actual doctors, patients and emergency situations. In one scene in the final episode in series one, Guy (Mangan) was hitting behind him, and nearly hit a patient. However, some scenes, such as those in Sue's and Alan's offices, were filmed in a studio. Green Wing's title is said to have come from a small plastic green man with wings that was in top pocket, and fell on Pile's desk.

Fincham claimed it was not his, so Pile kept it. This plastic man appears at the end of the credits on every show. Unused storylines Green Wing had some plot lines that were never used. Unused storylines included Alan having an 80-year-old wife and step-grandchildren as old as him, and Guy suffering from.

Pile originally wanted the show to cover the entire hospital, not just doctors, but also porters, car park attendants and kitchen staff. However, she eventually decided that they had enough material with the eight main doctors and human resources workers.

Two endings were created for the special. The is included on the DVD release of Green Wing, along with deleted scenes from the episode. The alternative ending was planned to be used if a third series was going to be commissioned, as this ending was much more ambiguous. It is known that the actors wanted the alternative ending, but after some debate, it was not shown. Series summaries Series 1.

Main article: Caroline arrives at East Hampton for her first day of work, where she begins work with Guy and Mac. But soon her chance of a fresh start is ruined when she is forced to spend her second day on the job quashing rumours that she slept with Guy after he put her up for the night. To make things even more difficult, Martin is quickly falling in love with Caroline and hiding it badly, although she does not seem to be picking up on it. Meanwhile, Alan and Joanna maintain their relationship as the worst kept secret in the hospital, but both parties are unsatisfied. Alan wants to shout their relationship from the rooftops, whereas Joanna wants more spontaneity and danger, so quickly turns her affections to , the hospital's head of. The plot line takes a complicated twist when, at the housewarming party of Angela and Caroline, Caroline manages to kiss Guy, Mac, Sue and Martin, but remembers very little of it the next day and has to be reminded by Mac in manageable portions. At the same party, Boyce starts a relationship with Kim.

Meanwhile, we discover that Martin is in fact the son of Joanna Clore, not that she wants anyone at the hospital to find out. In fact Joanna has her own problems to deal with, as she spends much of one episode believing that she is pregnant, only to find out that the test results had been mixed up and it was in fact Harriet who was pregnant (again). Alan, elated by the thought that he may become a father, become obsessed with babies and suggests that they try for one when he finds out that Joanna is not in fact pregnant. Joanna, bored of Alan's predictable behaviour, finally decides to end her relationship with him. Caroline starts to get broody, but is unsure as to whether it is Mac or Guy that she loves as both appear to be premium father material. After spending the afternoon with Guy, much to the chagrin of Mac, Caroline begins to realise that his appearance of paternalism is little more that a act. A love web quickly emerges; Guy loves himself but is pretending to love Caroline; Martin does love Caroline; Caroline loves Mac, as does Sue White; Mac loves his new girlfriend, Emily; Statham loves Jesus, or possibly just the attractive hospital chaplain; and Joanna loves Lyndon, but still wants to prise Alan away from religion.

Sue's jealousy of Caroline reaches new extreme, to the extent of attempted murder, most notably with a cross bow. Both women are devastated to find that Mac is intending to move to Sheffield with his new girlfriend to take up a consultancy position, and won't even be swayed by Sue's offer to kill off one of the consultants at East Hampton in order to create a vacancy. Before he leaves, Mac bets Guy that he would not be able to sleep with Joanna, so Guy picks her up at the leaving party. A the same party, Caroline accuses Emily of being a fake, which turn out to be a misunderstanding, but still achieves its ultimate aim as Emily breaks up with Mac, disgusted that he found the whole affair funny. Mac finds Caroline alone in the hospital and comforts her by telling her three things he felt when she accused Emily, replacing the last with a kiss.

As they are about to leave, Caroline and Mac find out that something has happened at Guy's flat. They arrive to find that Martin had burst into Guy's flat to tell him that Joanna was in fact his birth mother, which he discovered when reading Guy's mail that morning. Guy had subsequently stabbed Martin in the leg with, and when Caroline and Mac arrive in an ambulance Guy steals it in a drunken rage with Mac and Martin in the back. Guy drives the ambulance to Wales, where, in an attempt to avoid a sheep, they drive onto a cliff edge. The series ends with the three of them balanced precariously over the cliff trying to remember the names of, and debating which of them they are most like. Comic Relief sketch (2005) Mac fends off Sue's advances by saying he will only allow her to touch his arse if she can raise £10,000 for Comic Relief. Sue then proceeds to try to ask Martin, Joanna, Guy and Alan for the money, which she eventually manages to raise, though Mac runs off before she can get hold of him.

Series 2. Main article: The episode begins with the funeral of Angela, who departed the show during the second series, after being killed by a moose, at least according to Guy. Mac, after a month's leave, discovers what has happened between Caroline and Guy, and although hurt, makes no attempt to interfere. Guy, on learning of Mac's terminal illness, tells Caroline to marry Mac instead of him. Meanwhile, Alan and Joanna are still on the run, rescued by Martin who calls the. Whilst on their journey, they accidentally kill three more people, a mechanic, a shop assistant and a policeman.

Soon, they decide that, with no transport, money or employment, the only option is suicide. They are last seen, naked, walking hand-in-hand towards the sea. Meanwhile, Karen returns to work after her fall, but has changed drastically. She has become more confident and has developed better dress sense.

Boyce ends up missing Alan, after his replacement turns out to be even more horrible. With Joanna gone, the office girls start to run riot, as in. They form their own tribe and become hostile to anyone who enters the department. Mac and Caroline finally marry, despite Mac's terminal illness (the exact nature of which is never disclosed, although Mac does tell Guy that its name has an 'a' and an 'e' in it). Sue gets over her obsession with Mac and finds love with a new man, who reciprocates her feelings. The episode concludes with Caroline being carried into the air by a mass of helium filled balloons at the wedding reception, although on the DVD boxset extras it shows an alternate ending where Guy and Mac grab onto Caroline's ankles and are taken to the sky with her; this alternative ending ends with Mac saying, 'Caroline, there's something I've been meaning to tell you.' Signature jokes Green Wing contains running jokes.

These include Guyball, a sport invented by Guy when he was at public school, with somewhat confusing rules. The basic object of the game is to throw a ball into a 'Topmiler', a basket attached to a helmet. This game was even played at the Wingin' It Green Wing Convention. Another signature joke is the frequent visits by main characters to Sue White's office, in which these characters expect Sue to act as some kind of psychiatric counselor to them, only to be thwarted by Sue's ever more peculiar behaviour. Also, Guy often says things that are inappropriate and sexually explicit and after noticing the reaction from the person to whom he is speaking, follows his comment with '. Let me finish' and a clarification.

After trying to teach Martin this method in the very first episode, Guy also regularly attempts to pick up women throughout the two series by talking on his phone and saying 'I'll see you in Zurich', in an attempt to sound 'jet-setty'. Another Green Wing series of running jokes is about hair. One of the more notable was various cracks about Mac's untidy hair, with Sue lending him a hair tie and hair clips before he goes in for an interview. Another was the character Karen getting her hair trapped in a printer in the first episode.

Mac was often referred to as a by the other characters. Guy's hair becomes gradually curlier as the series goes on and Rachel dyes her hair from blonde to brunette after the first series. Other recurring jokes include Boyce's practical jokes, the bizarre games played by the human resources staff and surgery scenes where Caroline, Guy and Mac mess around while performing operations.

Martin Dear Recurring characters. Jake Leaf. Oliver. Emmy. Lyndon Jones. Holly Hawkes Critical reaction The show has received generally very positive reviews. The said that it was 'a comedy as physically adroit as it was verbally sharp', and said that 'Channel 4’s hospital sitcom is the most innovative comedy since, well,.'

In a review of television in 2006, Kathryn Flett in voted it one of the top ten TV programmes of the year. In, the second series was voted joint-second best comedy series in 2006. In South Africa, where Green Wing is broadcast on, voted the show the best programme of 2007. Composer wrote that the soundtrack to Green Wing was, 'One of the most innovative TV soundtracks in recent years.' Famous fans of Green Wing include novelist and comedian.

Criticisms of Green Wing include the methods of filming and the overall length of the episodes, claiming that hour-long episodes are too long. The show won the 2005 and 2006 Comedy Tumbleweed Awards for 'Worst Camerawork'.

Some were also critical of what was seen as a decline in quality when the second series began. Cathy Pryor in said that, 'Sadly, though, since I'm something of a fan, I have to report that the first episode of the second series is, disappointingly, rather flat. To be fair, there were a couple of laugh-out-loud moments - Dr Statham banging his head and falling down being one of them - but the whole thing didn't quite gel. Or should that be coagulate?

I'll stop making bad jokes now since I'm still not as funny as anyone in the show. But I sincerely hope that the opener is a one- off and not a sign that Green Wing is going down the pan.' Similar comments were made. When the first series was broadcast, he praised the cast and characters, but commented negatively on the filming style and dramatic qualities. He also said: '.it was one of the most freshly funny and crisply innovative comedies for years. The humour was all based in the character, not the situation. The story lines were negligible; there were no catch phrases; it was surreal in a way we hadn’t seen since; and the cast were actors being funny from inside a characterisation, not stand-up comics bolting a cartoon persona onto the back of gags.'

Friends Cast And Characters

Subsequently, Gill attacked the first episode of series two, in particular the use of a dream sequence at the beginning of the episode. He wrote, 'Now, every 11-year-old knows dream sequences are the lowest form of plotting solution, lower than unexplained superpowers such as the ability to stop time or become invisible; even lower than a magic get-better potion. Within two minutes, Green Wing had destroyed itself, lost its assured grip on the cliff of comedy and tumbled into the abyss of embarrassing overacting, formless gurning and pointless repetition. What had once looked Dada-ishly brilliant now looked like stoned improv from a show-off's drama school.

The lack of plot and coherent narrative that previously had been a blessed freedom was revealed to be a formless free-for-all, brilliant performances as silly mannerisms. Nothing I've seen this year has disappointed me as sharply as the second series of Green Wing. As so poignantly pointed out, only a step separates the sublime from the ridiculous.' The rest of the series received some praise and, in a 2009 article, Gill - writing about the current comedy output at the time - said: 'Show me a funny indigenous comedy series; show me one that has been made in the past five years, other than Green Wing.'

Possible spin-off The cast, crew and writers of Green Wing have shown no interest in creating a third series because of scheduling difficulties due to new projects being undertaken by the creators and talkbackTHAMES not having a big enough budget.

However, creator Victoria Pile mentioned in a 2007 interview in the that she may do a, saying, 'I'm hoping to do another Channel 4 comedy imminently, possibly starring some of the same cast. Hopefully, it will be some kind of spin-off from Green Wing.' In 2009, Pile and most of the writing team behind Green Wing created a sitcom set in a entitled, which features similar concepts to Green Wing, including improvisation.
