1. Late

Episode 1 of 5

Dr Zake's late on her first day at a Blackpool medical centre, incurring the wrath of the receptionist. Starring Dolya Gavanski.

An offbeat comic drama series following the experiences of Latvian locum Dr Dace Zake - mistakenly hired in the belief she speaks Polish - in a beleaguered medical centre in the deprived South Shore area of Blackpool.

It's Dr Dace's first day working at the medical centre.

She's late, which incurs the wrath of Jan the receptionist and she encounters a man throwing up into a carrier bag outside the surgery.

Not a good start to the day.

Written in five parts by Ben Cottam.
