Hospital - Season 6
Season 6
Episodes
Episode 1
The UK lockdown is over, but London's Royal Free Hospital is counting the cost of having to prioritise Covid-19 above almost everything else as they battle to treat the patients left behind.
Episode 2
The Royal Free London faces the long-lasting effects of Covid on their patients, staff and services, amidst the looming threat of a second wave.
Episode 3
This episode explores the impact of Covid-19 on the Royal Free Hospital's transplant services, which treat some of the hospital's most vulnerable patients.
Episode 4
This episode focuses on the perpetual challenges of trying to discharge older patients as the hospital experiences a bed shortage, alongside the added complexities of Covid-19 infection risks.
As autumn begins, the hospital's Emergency Department is seeing a resurgence of patients after a summer of low attendances. More people are arriving in A&E than almost any other day since last winter, and they are admitting more patients than they are discharging. Every patient being admitted must be tested for Covid-19, but the results can take up to 48 hours to come back. Staff must deal with the conundrum of where to place patients, as they must isolate symptomatic patients and manage the constant risk that those without symptoms later test positive. If a patient that was deemed low risk, and therefore placed on a ward, is then found to be Covid-19 positive, all patients that were in proximity to them must isolate, and therefore occupy one of the hospital's precious single rooms.
This issue, combined with the recurring challenge of older patients staying as in-patients for long periods, means that Barnet's bed shortage, which was an issue even prior to the pandemic, has suddenly multiplied. As the hospital hits capacity, the brand new Rainbow Ward, specifically built with a £4 million investment during the pandemic to ease the pressure created by Covid-19, stands empty. Building problems have delayed its opening, so the pressure to discharge patients is higher than ever.
Episode 5
Covid-19 patients are again being transferred to intensive care, but clinicians now have a wider array of treatments used to fight the virus, including experimental drugs and convalescent plasma.
Episode 6
As Covid-19 levels rise again, the Royal Free London prepares to roll out a mass vaccination programme, but it faces a staffing crisis that in turn threatens vital cancer operations.

Saint-Pierre
After Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Inspector Donny "Fitz" Fitzpatrick digs too deeply into a local politician's nefarious activity, he is exiled to work in Saint-Pierre et Miquelon (the French Territory nestled in the Atlantic Ocean just off the coast of Newfoundland). Fitz's arrival disrupts the life of Deputy Chief Geneviève "Arch" Archambault, a Parisian transplant who is in Saint-Pierre for her own intriguing reasons. Saint-Pierre is a police procedural with French star Joséphine Jobert as Arch and Canadian star Allan Hawco as Fitz, and James Purefoy rounding out the stellar team. As if by fate, these two seasoned officers — with very different policing skills and approaches — are forced together to solve unique and exciting crimes. Although the islands seem like a quaint tourist destination, the idyllic façade conceals the worst kind of criminal activity which tend to wash up on its beautiful shores. At first at odds and suspicious of each other, Arch and Fitz soon discover that they are better together... a veritable crime-fighting force.
