This week's first episode, in fact, was light on the awful injuries – or at least the obvious signs of them. It was subtitled Boys Just Want to Have Fun, a slightly sarcastic way of saying some men who are old enough to know better take part in risky activities. Three cases came through the doors of the accident and emergency department at Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham.
It's about the way hugely stressful situations reveal how we combat them through humour, stoicism, emotional support in whatever form it may take. “I was ready for the worst,” says Milky's wife Kinga, as everything in her face gives away the fact that she was not ready, not ready at all. It's about the calm efficiency of people who know what they're doing – experts, in other words – and trust we place in them.
