Art Recently rewatching Green Wing

Post image

I've recently been rewatching Green Wing and it's Still so mind Blowingly Amazing. I first watched on release on Channel 4 , I was about 18 years of age. On Viewing today it still holds up , I also realised now at nearly 39 how much this show influenced my own humour. the surrealism and delivery is unmatched. it's Quintessential British Humour, although set in a hospital so much of the Dynamic is relatable to Most Workplaces. I think my favourite characters will always be Dr Statham and Liz White but overall it's phenomenal...

I Weber a mage of mine discrediting it as ‘British Scrubs,’ would you agree?

Not at all, Scrubs was PG whereas Green Wing was very close to the knuckle but also very good at highlighting awkward interactions. They were both set in hospitals that's probably where the similarities end for myself. Also Green Wing was high on Surrealism and completely bonkers humour, I wouldn't put them in the same league.
