Harriet Sherwood, The Guardian, 18th February 2022Review: Martin Fishback, BBC
Tactless, middle-class dad Martin Fishback wants to become a crime-writer... This is a small modest pilot, which is apt, because Fishback is a small, modest man. In the most boring suburban clothes in Christendom. With the most boring suburban voice in Christendom too. And very funny.

For many that might mean typos in emails and files going unsent; in the NHS, working while tired can mean the difference between life and death. This sobering statement forms the basis of the BBC's newest medical drama, This Is Going To Hurt, alongside wider conversations about the state of staffing, funding and quality of care in Britain's NHS.
