    these sorts of things are always selectively edited, I'm sceptical to as whether the characters on TV are actually even like that.

    if somebody filmed my five worse comments of the day and stuck them on a TV programme I would appear a winging ****, I'm not I promise!

    I am a whinging ****, every junior is.

    That's what I thought, doesn't inspire much confidence!
    Kathryn seems like a sweetheart though.
    Adam(?) is making me laugh, he keeps making me cringe.

    It doesn't inspire self-confidence, any idiot who talks like that will talk themselves out of doing anything.

    A cliched and somewhat flawed title is hardly the most auspicious of starts to a program.

    I fear they are likely to have recruited somewhat egotistical FY1/FY2s too - I can imagine no sane/competent FY1/FY2 would volunteer for this.
    Unless they were being paid a lot...

    I'm surprised they included the mountain of clerking.

    Not because it's not important, but it's not "sexy" enough for BBC3.

    No word about hand overs though.

    Anyone else notice they played "Supermassive black hole" during the rectal exam?
