Episodes
Episode 1
Two years after opening its doors, the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital is home to 10,000 staff and thousands of patients. In this programme, a 12-strong trauma team assemble as George is helicoptered to the rooftop helipad. He's been in a head-on collision with a lorry near Loch Fyne and is dangerously unstable. In the children's hospital, Connor, an 18 year old with leukaemia, faces an agonising decision: whether to have a stem cell transplant that gives him a chance of cure but means his college course will be disrupted, or to opt for chemotherapy that would allow him to continue with his busy life - but is unlikely to rid him of his leukaemia. We meet Davey, one of the 200 porters who are the worker bees of the hospital, walking miles every shift; and baby Fynn who, at 18 weeks old, can now have his cleft lip and palate repaired under anaesthetic by the top plastic surgeons in the country.

When Calls the Heart
When Calls the Heart is inspired by Janette Oke's bestselling book series about the Canadian West, the series tells the captivating story of Elizabeth Thatcher, a young teacher accustomed to her high society life, who receives her first classroom assignment in Coal Valley, a small coal mining town where life is simple, but often fraught with challenges. Upon arrival, Elizabeth befriends Abigail Stanton, a wife and mother whose husband, the foreman of the mine, along with a dozen other miners, has just been killed in an explosion. The newly widowed women find their faith is tested when they must go to work in the mines to keep a roof over their heads. Set against the wild canvas of a 19th century coal town, Elizabeth will have to learn the ways of the frontier if she wishes to thrive in the rural west on her own.
Yellowjackets
Yellowjackets follows a girls' high school soccer team. In 1975, the Dearborn High Yellowjackets became the first team in state history to qualify for the Girls' U.S. Soccer Championship Series in Manchester, NH. They never got the chance to compete. Equal parts survival epic, horror story and pitch black coming of age, Yellowjackets tells the story of the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the Ontario wilderness, chronicling their descent from a friendly, cooperative team to warring, cannibalistic clans. At the same time, it follows the lives they've attempted to piece back together nearly twenty-five years later, proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over.
