The Royal

This series centers on a small community hospital in northern England during the so-called "swinging" 60's. There are a number of fascinating characters especially Matron, head of nursing, Mr. Rose, consulting surgeon and the two main physicians, Doctors Ormerud and Wetherill. Unlike Gray's Anatomy the plots have as much to do with the practice of medicine as the personal lives of the characters. For the most part the drama is not sensational, but thoughtful and gentle. If you want some respite from the barrage of violence, gore and bedroom antics of most other television fare, you should enjoy The Royal.

Very disappointed why do this??? loved every episode of The Roral! I finally caught up on Britbox, living in Virginia... Why on earth did ITV shelve at such a truly critical point? What in the actual heck???

But how on earth could they leave viewers hanging like that?! I say it's high time for a reunion special!

The makers of this series have put a lot of effort into making it seem authentic. Most appealing and very addictive!

I have just been told by ITV's services that they might be shelving the Royal I'm really not happy with this it's one of the few televisions programs I love they're still showing heartbeat I bet that will be next to be shelved does anybody know if I can do a petition to bring the Royal back to life I'dt should never have been shelved
