The Good Karma Hospital

Yes Ana, the shrinking baby was a bit obvious!

With a name like The Good Karma Hospital it was bound to be fluffy gillybob. But the sun and scenery is perfect for winter. Quite relaxing and not at all Casualty (which I can't stand!)

I can't stand Call the Midwife btw.

Well I confess to being a little bit disappointed. I couldn't get the point of Neil Morrisey who just seems to play himself. The bit about the father wanting a boy and then getting another girl was poor too. The young doctor placed the baby girl in his arms and suddenly he was smitten. I don't think so. hmm

I will give it another go next week though and I think that Amanda Redman was good at playing the bossy doctor and I liked the ambulance adverting beer.

Yes, I quite enjoyed it, lovely scenery and gorgeous young doctor!! (can't remember his name} but it was a bit predictable and that reminiscent of Call the Midwife in the way that baby was huge in one scene and tiny when bundled up in her father's arms! grin

I quite enjoyed it, nice light viewing. I just hope Amanda isn't going to be over bossy. She didn't seem to do much either, considering how busy it was!
I know it's not real life! grin

I enjoyed it as well. Nice light Sunday evening viewing before I am back to a full weeks work on Monday.

Well I agree its nice and light for Sunday evenings BUT it was a bit Casualty meets Best Marigold Hotel- nice and colourful though and the characters will develop.

We forgot to tape it so I'll get the first episode on catch up. I agree with you, printmiss - Country File definitely needs a shake up.

PRINTMISS Mon 06-Feb-17 08:49:53

Watched it, it was o.k. but nothing outstanding, as Badenkate says predictable. We gave up on Apple Tree Yard after the first episode Kitty, and we are also getting a little tired of Country File which seems to be struggling for something new. Think it needs a break. I must be feeling grumpy this morning.

It was predictable but was a bit of fluff for a Sunday evening in front of the fire, and none the worse for that.

Badenkate Mon 06-Feb-17 08:36:06

Thought it was totally predictable - maybe because we watched it just after catching up with Taboo! Won't bother again.

kittylester Mon 06-Feb-17 08:29:49

You and me both, Jane10. Sounds much more my thing than Apple Tree Yard!

travelsafar Mon 06-Feb-17 08:07:36

very enjoyable with some beautiful scenery, perfect for Sunday evening.

Jane10 Mon 06-Feb-17 07:47:16

Ooh goody. I've got it recorded and am looking forward to seeing it. Saw my recording of 'Apple Tree Yard' yesterday. Everyone had raved about it but I thought it was horrible. Fingers crossed I agree with everyone on this thread!

ninathenana Mon 06-Feb-17 07:06:48

A good start, I hope it contines the same way.

Bellanonna Sun 05-Feb-17 23:52:21

Yes, me too

callgirl1 Sun 05-Feb-17 23:45:19

Looking forward to the rest of the series.

Jalima Sun 05-Feb-17 23:32:31

Oh! I meant to record it.

Thanks for the reminder, I will watch on catchup

Once DH stopped complaining about being forced to watch two feelgood medical dramas back to back, I was able to enjoy it.

I think Amanda Redman had something to do with it. He used to love her in New Tricks!

NfkDumpling Sun 05-Feb-17 22:48:59

It's a sort of feel good Call the Midwife sort of programme. Just right for Sundays.

callgirl1 Sun 05-Feb-17 22:44:59

Did anyone watch this? My daughter and I liked it a lot, will certainly be watching again next week.
