In Birmingham's largest hospital, the Queen Elizabeth, 67-year-old farmer Stephen has arrived with his wife Patricia. Bed 32 in Day Surgery is ready to greet him so he can have much-needed surgery on his leg. Steven hopes an operation will help him walk again, but he is showing symptoms of angina, and surgery won't go ahead unless his heart is strong enough.
The Great North Children's Hospital in Newcastle is one of the biggest paediatric hospitals in the UK. Bed 27 meets it's next young patient, 12-year-old Daniel, who has fallen over at school and may have broken his wrist. He's been brought in by his mum Hilary and is worried that he might need surgery.
It is a busy day at the A&E Department in Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary, and with a four-hour target to get beds turned around, the hospital staff are under pressure. Bed nine is looking after former model agent 78-year-old Liz, who fears she's broken her ribs. Having fallen over at home she's in serious pain and has been brought in with husband of 50 years Max.
Forty-year-old chef Turan is the next patient in bed nine at Newcastle's A&E. He's been assaulted and has head and neck pain but isn't keen to wait around for the treatment.
Over in Resus, bed two is prepped and ready for its next critical patient. An unidentified and unconscious woman has been rushed in by ambulance. She's been drinking and may have a bleed on her brain, meaning her condition could deteriorate rapidly.

The Real Housewives of Potomac
Just up the river from our nation's capital lies a hidden gem—Potomac, Maryland. Its rolling hills, gated mansions, sophisticated prep schools, and exclusive country clubs all serve to keep the area invitation-only. Sprinkled throughout this community are a handful of old-line, wealthy African-American families who have historically broken racial barriers to provide a life of privilege for their children. The Real Housewives of Potomac follows the upscale lives of six intriguing, well-to-do women: Gizelle Bryant, Katie Rost, Karen Huger, Charrisse Jackson-Jordan, Robyn Dixon, and Ashley Darby, all of whom have fought for their places in this society by way of legacy or marriage. In a town where entry is granted only through class, pedigree, and lineage, how far will these ladies go to secure their spot at the top of this prestigious circle?
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.
Wild Cards
Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
