Description:
An epic BBC Radio drama series set in the Welsh valleys, about medical life before the NHS.<br/><br/>Based on AJ Cronin’s award-winning 1937 novel of the same name, which partly inspired Nye Bevan to create the NHS, this gripping drama centres on Andrew Manson, a newly trained GP in 1920s Wales. <br/><br/>Young and idealistic, he is full of enthusiasm when he first arrives in the small mining village of Drineffy, where he is to work as assistant to the elderly Dr Page. But he soon encounters corruption, apathy and appalling medical practices, and becomes determined to storm the citadel of the medical establishment and make a difference. <br/><br/>In these collected episodes, he befriends the cynical Dr Denny and helps him to deal with a typhoid epidemic; meets the love of his life, Christine; performs a remarkable doctoring feat in a crisis; takes a new job in a larger town; becomes caught up in the 1926 miners’ strike – and makes a desperate attempt to save the life of someone close to him… <br/><br/>Adapted from Cronin’s novel by scriptwriter Christopher Reason, this compelling drama about a dedicated doctor developing his career and family life against the backdrop of a country undergoing significant change.<br/>Do you enjoy the variety on Oldtuberadio?<br/>Like, Share and Subscribe to be notified of our new shows<br/>#radio #crime #thriller #drama<br/>To Support this channel please visit<br/>https://www.buymeacoffee.com/oldtuberadio<br/>https://ko-fi.com/oldtuberadio98<br/>https://www.patreon.com/oldtuberadio<br/>https://locals.com/Oldtuberadio<br/>
