The Good Doctor

When Laurence Waters arrives at his rural posting, Frank is instantly suspicious. Laurence is everything Frank is not young, optimistic and full of new schemes. The two become uneasy friends, while the rest of the staff in the deserted hospital view Laurence with a mixture of awe and mistrust. The town beyond the hospital is also coping with new arrivals, and the return of old faces. The brigadier a self-fashioned dictator from apartheid days is rumoured to still be alive.
