Press
The sweary and sometimes surreal sitcom about life among hustling hospital porters returns for a second series. Indecisive gofer Simon is still mooning after nurse Lucy while his streetwise mentor Frankie reignites a feud with an old nemesis (Daniel Mays). But where has golf-loving veteran Tillman (Rutger Hauer) gone?
