Attention to Detail

During the day the studios bustle with activity. Wardrobe, make-up, technical adjustments and tests — a thousand and one details must be attended to. And in Emergency—Ward 10 authenticity is of the greatest importance, as for example below left where the woman doctor advising on the medical aspects of this episode demonstrates the correct method in the examination of a patient. 

“The position which Emergency—Ward 10 occupies in the public’s mind cannot be judged from statistics alone. Its acceptance by viewers, the Church and the medical profession is the keynote of the series.” 

Val Parnell, ATV’s Managing Director.
