Episodes
Episode 1
They may be newly qualified, but dealing with life and death situations and everything in between is a daily reality for the rookie nurses – especially in A&E. This time, Mikey, 22, is part of the trauma team who help a teenage rugby player brought in by ambulance with severe concussion in Carmarthen.
In Aberystwyth, 24-year-old nurse Leah is unfazed when a patient arrives having suffered a freak lawnmower accident which led to an amputation. Amid medical dramas on the wards, there's a big moment for health care assistant Caitlin, who, after years of studying, is on her way to collect her new nurse's uniform, and is excited to join her colleagues in her blues.
Episode 2
Back on the wards, some of Wales's youngest nurses are dealing with all kinds of medical challenges that are thrown their way. In Carmarthen, there's no easing in for very newly qualified Caitlin, who has to learn fast in her first week in A&E. Across the ward, her friend and colleague, 22-year-old Mikey, battles to keep a patient with severe hypothermia alive.
On the Stroke Unit in Aberystwyth, a visit from Nelly the therapy dog lifts not just the patients' spirits, but the nurses' too, while nurse Gina helps keep morale high on the ward with her funny banter.
Episode 3
Nurse Leah, 24, has spent almost two months helping a patient, who's from the same farming community as her, recover after surgery. It's a sad but proud moment when he's finally well enough to leave.
Despite trying to stay out of trouble, nurse Mikey faces all the ward banter as suspect number one when a vital medicine machine malfunctions. Meanwhile, Caitlin, 21, faces her first shift in Resus as a qualified nurse. She holds her own well, but has a patient whose case shows just how fast things can take a turn in A&E.
Episode 4
Nurse Issie, 23, is literally the one holding the phone when an emergency call comes in to the Stroke Unit at Bronglais Hospital, Aberystwyth. She's happy that she is growing in confidence in helping stroke patients when they arrive, but is quickly reminded she has a lot to learn and experience to gain.
Meanwhile in A&E, nurse Mikey helps a man blue-lighted in after he was knocked off his bike by a car. Caitlin, 21, deals with a patient who has been admitted after having seizures, while in rheumatology, nurse Nivea is keen to retain her title as the cannulation queen.
Episode 5
Leah faces her biggest challenge so far when one of her patients tells her that he wants to die. Angelo has to keep up with a ward full of patients on the banter front, while Mikey thinks he's seen it all in A&E when a patient comes in who has accidentally been run over by his wife.
Despite the pressures, the newly-qualified nurses all reflect on how far they've come, including colleagues and friends Gina and Issie, whose months of work with stroke patients has seen them make huge progress.

The Other Bennet Sister
The Other Bennet Sister is a fresh spin around the ballroom for one of Jane Austen's most unassuming characters: Mary Bennet – the seemingly unremarkable and overlooked middle sister in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. The series takes as its premise that - when it comes to the Bennet sisters - while we dream of being Lizzy, in reality most us are more like Mary...
Unlike her sisters, Mary isn't your typical period drama heroine. She is awkward, anxious, preachy, full of facts, a terrible singer… overlooked by her mother and seemingly destined to an empty dance card for the rest of her life… until Mary takes matters into her own hands.
The Other Bennet Sister gives Mary Bennet the epic love story nobody predicted for her, taking her from her family home in Meryton to the soirees of Regency London and the peaks and vales of the Lake District - all in search of independence, romance and, most elusive of all, self-love and acceptance.
Elsbeth
Elsbeth follows Elsbeth Tascioni, an astute but unconventional attorney who utilizes her singular point of view to make unique observations and corner brilliant criminals alongside the NYPD.

Wagner, a charismatic and revered leader. Working alongside Elsbeth is Officer Kaya Blanke, a stoic and ethical officer who quickly develops an appreciation for Elsbeth's insightful and offbeat ways.

Reacher is a drifter, carrying no phone and the barest of essentials as he travels the country and explores the nation he once served. When Reacher arrives in the small town of Margrave, Georgia, he finds a community grappling with its first homicide in 20 years. The cops immediately arrest him and eyewitnesses claim to place Reacher at the scene of the crime. While he works to prove his innocence, a deep-seated conspiracy begins to emerge, one that will require Reacher's keen mind and hard-hitting fists to deal with. One thing above all is for sure: They picked the wrong guy to take the fall.
