''Green Wing'' was a British [[Medical Drama|"medical" drama]] that ran from 2004-2006, and was a mixture of comedy, bizarre [[Soap Opera]] and pure absurdity that would make ''[[Scrubs]]'' blush.
 
The series was notable in that, despite being set at the fictional East Hampton Hospital Trust (and filmed in a real-live working hospital, ''[[Enforced Method Acting|complete with genuine patients and doctors as extras]]''), the plot rarely ever touched actual medicine or patient storylines in favor of focusing on the surgeons playing games mid-operations, the [[Love Dodecahedron]] the staff are invariably trapped in and the occasional misadventures of the HR department.
 
Managed to win the "Comedy Of The Year" award in 2006.

=== Some plots and tropes used: ===
* [[Air Vent Passageway]]: Sue White pulls this as an escape tactic in the first episode of season 2.
* [[Anguished Declaration of Love]]: A played for laughs version done by Guy to Caroline. She's in the bathroom at the time and the confession is so difficult, the best he can must is that he doesn't just like her but he ''likes'' her.
