'No Angels' - partly filmed at High Royds hospital,
Menston, and in Leeds centre. Edgier than 'Casualty' & its ilk, if I recall correctly. Ran 2004-06.

That's the one, we're massive fans and have all the box sets. Every time we need cheering up, the Angels come out :-)

p.s. I think "edgier than casualty" is beautifully understated Steve. And then some I'd say :-)

I'm majoring in diplomacy there, NE :)

'Angels' aired from 1975 on the BBC and was required viewing, as my sister had just qualified as SRN. Wiki describes it as 'the Z-Cars of nursing' and characters undertook 'live' experience on a hospital ward to improve authenticity. Launched a few heavyweight acting careers, too.

Evening all - some great songs there. I had a brilliant afternoon in a bar overlooking the sea with one of the best soul lists I’ve heard in a long time! In no particular order they included:

Bill Withers - Harlem
Bill Withers - Kissing My Love
Marvin Gaye - What’s Going On
Curtis Mayfield - Pusherman (from the Superfly album)
Curtis Mayfield - Move on Up
Otis Redding - Dock of the Bay
Fontella Bass - Rescue Me

How great is that lot!

Oh and Clean Up Woman - Betty Wright (haven’t heard that for years)!

There were also some great tracks I didn’t know including an (obviously) James Brown one.

Not a duff disc in sight, macca! :) Mayfield's social awareness shines ever more brightly in much of his later work - and Fontella Bass rips it up every single time. :)
