Format:DVD
Picking up on a coach-hanger, we have series 2. Without going into too much detail, this is marvellous. Sit back and enjoy the entertainment. Like 'Heartbeat', the realism is not the key. It is the satisfaction of just taking it in. Another six episodes following on from series 1. Now we know the scenario and personalities. More expected,hopefully.
The titles of the episodes are scene setters. They are meaningless in terms of following on and looking forward to the next. Read into what you wish.Memories are made of these. Now we have the record.
1)All At Sea: Dr Cheriton and Taylor go to a fishing boat. Family scuppers.The Weatherills are in an awkward situation to say the least.Ken gets more than hot fat from his chips.
2)Snakes and Ladders:Ian Carmichael ( Middleditch) goes to be replaced by Nigel Harper (John Axon). Hypochondriacs and snake bites take place on the board, but the Ormerod's have to take on depressive suicides.
3)Thicker Than Water: Dedicated Sister Brigid has a moral and faith crisis. The humour is provided by the laundry fiasco by Ken. Not appreciated by Matron.
4)Wishing and Hoping: Whooping cough (prevalent then withought vaccination). Tragic consequences. Mr Rose continues to diagnose everything and anything. Throw your medical dictionary away. Self-operating is not recommended unless you have a pipe to assist (I assume Old Shag has an antiseptic property) plus an ego. Cheriton and Meryl have an excursion. No more said.- until later.
5) One of Those Days. Boating accident? Dr Ormerod is off, as usual, faster than knots at sea. Not a good result. Mr Rose transforms himself into a master of everything again and performs feats seen in the circus. Brilliant. Matched by Sister Brigid. Staff Nurse Meryl Taylor has personal worries.
6)The Last Waltz. Hopefully not. Ken gets the ball going at the end. Moral dilemmas otherwise predominate. Emotional relationships, revelation or not of staff and patients keep the attention (not that it has been lost).
These synopses are not, of course, the be-all and end.The major players are the cast. The superb matron (Wendy Craig), the multi-talented superhuman Mr Rose, the long-suffering (always pretty, I've noticed) nurses, Lizzie, plus the harmless scallywag porters. Also script writers and dirctors. Put belief and a touch of fairy dust into your cup of tea and scone (or whatever) and enjoy replaying Sunday nights in front of the fire as they were intended. More series to come (on DVD) but we never know. Surely. Keep up the support.

GREAT GREAT GREAT - Another release of The Royal. I for one can't wait to get this second series. The whole concept of The Royal was well thought out and charming. The series replies on good storylines, music from the 60's that fits the scenes with great acting but without the need foul and bad langauge.

This is part two of a delightful retro-drama: 1960s, and basically Heartbeat in hospital! Several characters from the popular Heartbeat pop up in this beautifully crafted (second) series about a cottage hospital in the early days of the NHS, with lovely settings and all the appropriate 60s touches- vehicles, clothes and all the stuff of a well created "period" production. Also boasts great 60s music. Strongly recommended and, as ever a swift and efficient Amazon delivery.

When is the next series coming out?
It was great to receive the second series of The Royal. When can we expect the remaining? This television series in my opinion was my all time favorite with Heartbeat. Read more
