Getting On (2009-) is a [[Britcom|British sitcom]] set in a hospital ward a million miles away from [[House (TV)|Princeton General]]. Situated right at the wrong end of the [[Sliding Scale of Shiny Versus Gritty]], the series is centred on a general ward and the unglamorous lives of its long-suffering staff. The series is written by its three female leads: Jo Brand as Nurse [[Named After Somebody Famous|Kim Wilde]], Joanna Scanlan as Sister Den Flixter, and Vicki Pepperdine as Dr Pippa Moore. The show is intended to be a [[Sliding Scale of Realistic Versus Fantastic|realistic]] portrayal of hospital life with naturalistic dialogue and [[Jittercam|shaky camera movements]]. Its director Peter Capaldi may have learned a few tricks from his time working with [[Armando Iannucci]] on ''[[The Thick of It]]''.
