Queen’s Medical Centre’s emergency department came to all our living rooms this evening as the first episode of 24 Hours in A&E aired on national TV. The Channel 4 programme is based at the Nottingham hospital for its 29th series - the first time it has been filmed outside of London.
Nottingham viewers will be familiar with opening shots of the Robin Hood statue and a NET tram, as well as local lingo such as ‘duck’. And others will recognise the pale walls of QMC’s A&E.
In the first episode, 'Tales of the Unexpected', which was filmed in 2021 and was aired at 9pm on Tuesday, January 3, viewers were shown an equal mix of horror, tragedy and humour. Kirsty, a 45-year-old mum, was rushed to the department after falling from an inflatable whilst on a fun run.
