Emotional BBC drama This Is Going To Hurt wrapped up last night (March 22) after taking viewers on the rollercoaster of emotions working for the NHS entails. Based on former junior doctor Adam Kay's memoir, This Is Going To Hurt has been praised by those who work for the NHS and their loved ones for the realistic depiction of working in the public healthcare sector.
And perhaps one of the reasons why the programme has returned rave reviews from NHS workers is that they were heavily involved in the production of the show, which was filmed in the first half of 2021. Ahead of the final episode airing yesterday, Ben Hough, a senior development producer at the BBC, shared some candid behind the scenes snaps from filming.
Ben revealed the extent to which NHS workers were involved in the production of This Is Going To Hurt. He wrote on Twitter: "As #ThisIsGoingToHurt comes to an end tonight, here’s a celebration of a huge part of the show: the dozens of real NHS medics who helped make it.
