Porters Season 1: Episode Guide & Ratings

Deluded Simon Porter dreams of passing his medical exam and becoming a doctor - but by starting at the bottom, and becoming the best porter the NHS has ever seen. All he has to do is survive a few months grafting in a hospital basement and try not to kill any of the patients. How hard can that be? Ed must work alongside the cynical, self-styled "Queen of the Porters" Frankie, and naïve nurse Lucy.

A top British cast - plus the legend that is Rutger Hauer - star in this original hospital comedy. Simon offers a kidney to a transplant patient in order to impress Lucy.

The Hospital Trust is running a fast-track management scheme, which Simon sees as a way to become the type of man nurse Lucy will give a second glance to.
