A new "nail-biting" medical thriller starring actress Niamh Algar is set to air on ITV this weekend.
Filmed in and around Leeds, five-part series Malpractice is produced by World Productions, the company behind The Pembrokeshire Murders and Line of Duty. The plot centres around Dr Lucinda Edwards, played by Niamh Algar whose nightmare shift ends in the death of one of her patients.
The patient's grieving father demands an inquiry into Lucinda’s actions which leads to a medical investigation. While some feel this was an unavoidable tragedy, others are suspicious of Lucinda’s behaviour and decisions in the lead up to the patient’s death.
