Fresh new summer viewing is in store with this exciting medical drama series from Down Under, screened every weekday on BBC One. All Saints is set in a Sydney hospital where the busy nurses and doctors do their best to save lives and help the injured, while coping with the stresses and strains of their own personal lives.
On Ward 17 it’s business as usual as one of the nurses, Bron, heads off to help her friend, Lyle, through the “opening night” nerves caused by the première of his play. But the best-laid plans go horribly wrong when an earth tremor buckles the tracks and the train they are travelling on crashes in a tunnel at high speed. Trapped in the damaged train carriage with a group of schoolchildren, Bron tries to treat the wounded while attempts are made to free them and the other injured people from the wreckage. Meanwhile, Mitch cuts his leave short to come in and attend to the victims and Terri is thrown into confusion at his unannounced return.
Ben and Scott attend the accident and Scott is thrown by the extent of the carnage. When he learns that a woman sandwiched between two carriages has no chance of survival, Scott elects to go against one of the rules of the job.
Meanwhile, trauma team surgeon Luke crushes his hand in an accident at the train crash site. As he’s rushed to hospital, he’s forced to face the fact that he might never be able to operate again.
Bron is played by Libby Tanner, Lyle by Alex Jones, Mitch by Erik Thomson, Ben by Brian Vriends, Scott by Conrad Coleby and Luke by Martin Lynes.
