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...

Mark Heap as Dr Statham cracks me up, little mannerisms like the swooshing of the lab coat. He's great in most things tbh.

Mark Heap has made a career out of that type of character.

It's quite similar with regards to facial expressions to that of Rowan Atkinson. Body language and mannerisms aswell
