Robert is a domineering, showman surgeon - a rock star of his age - who is almost as brilliant as he thinks he is. He can pack out an operating theatre and take off a leg in 92 seconds. But after a botched amputation, Robert is put under pressure by the royal physician, Dr Hendrick. So John, a drug-addled dentist who is trying to create the world's first anaesthetic, convinces Robert to use potentially lethal ether in a prestigious and pioneering operation. Meanwhile, Caroline, Robert's headstrong wife, finds herself frustrated with her lot as a housewife and seeks help from Robert's friend William - a kind but anxious alienist - an early psychiatrist - who understands her better than her own husband does. He wants to help her with phrenology treatment, but that involves touching her on an intimate area - her head. The lines are blurred when it becomes clear Caroline wants more than just psychiatry from William, and he finds himself torn between being a friend to Robert and a doctor to Caroline. (BBC)

After watching the pilot episode, it is quite clear to me that the series will score with me. The topic was chosen perfectly, I have always enjoyed watching the beginnings of modern medicine development. This time, I also got to enjoy the typical English humor and Matthew Baynton, who has never disappointed me so far.//"I enjoy smoking during surgery, the smell of gangrene can be terrible."
