Lisa McGrillis, who plays Dr Helen Cavendish in the series, said the show is like "a love letter to the NHS", as it reflects the real-life experiences of many professionals working today.

She told RadioTimes.com. "It's about all of these incredible doctors that have worked through COVID in the last three years, who are just normal people who have families and then they have to go to work.

"They're wading through the aftermath of COVID and the enormous strain that the pandemic put on the NHS and are doing an amazing job."

The drama's compelling characters and action-packed narrative are accompanied by a soundtrack including a wide range of artists, from Little Simz to Agnes Obel.
