I have been looking for this on dvd for ages was so happy that it has finally been realsed on dvd. I was compleatly gutted when ITV said that they werent going to run the show again. I looked forward to watching it on tv on sunday nights. I looked forward to seeing what would happen in each episode. Each episode would have me griped to the tv screen for the whole hour there was never a dull moment in The Royal. I loved the storylines between Dr Ormerod and Dr Weatherill my fav characters of the whole show. Then you had lizzie (would always come out with something funny), Ken (was always up to something), Matron (kept the running of the hospital smooth with help from the nurses. She was stern but understanding), Dr Rose(never seen without his pipe - even in the operating room), Mr Middleditch (kind and understanding founder of the hospital was founded by his grandfather)plus you had all the other doctors and nurses in the hospital that made the program.First Appearance of Glynis Barber as Jean McAteer, Diana May as Staff Nurse Carol Selby, Neil McDermott as Dr Ralph Ellis Eric Fogle is appointed as new head porter, putting Alun's nose out of joint. The hospital receives a letter of resignation from Dr Banner in Australia and has to appoint a partner to the practice — Weatherill believes she knows just the person, but Dr Ormerod favours Dr Burnett. Elsewhere, when Lucy Bayliss is involved in a horse-riding accident an X-ray reveals a more long-term problem.
