Jill Halfpenny paid a very Geordie tribute to the stars of Geordie Hospital as she narrated the first episode of the new Channel 4 show.
The six part series gives millions of viewers a fly on the wall look at some of Newcastle's busiest hospitals, including the RVI and Freeman, as cameras follow hard working members of staff from a whole host of departments.
And as well as stars of the show like urology nurse Sean, chaplain Katie and her dog Poppy Jingles having the primetime TV spotlight shone on them, former Byker Grove and EastEnders actress Jill also has a big part to play, as she is the voice of Geordie Hospital.
