THE INDIAN DOCTOR, Series 1-3

Winner of a Royal Television Society award, this BBC One drama offers a warm and humorous "fish out of water" story of Prem Patel (Sanjeev Bhaskar, Mumbai Calling), a high-flying Delhi graduate who comes to the UK with ambitions to work in a top London surgery, only to find himself in a small Welsh village. Set in the 1960s, life in the little village of Rhondda is very different than he expects, and, as a fresh pair of eyes, Prem exposes a scandal affecting the health of the coal miners that many knew about but chose to ignore, and he becomes the focal point for change in a closely knit, working class mining community.
