Does anyone else watch this. I am hooked.
I was slobbing in front of the tele avoiding the usual Friday night rubbish, and I watched 24hrs in A&E. It is fascinating.
They do look at the medical issues but what is handled brilliantly are the thoughts and stories of the staff, patients and relatives. What comes over is the wisdom and stoicism of many of the people involved. Including how the staff feel about working in this very pressured area of medicine.
There are some amazing stories from ordinary people. It is screened with great care and sensitivity. It's often tear jerking and worth a watch.
I would guess a skilled interviewer in the background has been getting these patients to talk and tell their stories. It wins my vote as good television.
It makes "Casualty" look complete rubbish.
