The Latvian LocumSeries 1
Episode 2 of 5

Dace feels like she is making progress, but then she meets Jack, a young heroin addict from Birmingham. Starring Dolya Gavanski.

An offbeat comic drama series following the experiences of Latvian locum Dr Dace Zake - mistakenly hired in the belief she speaks Polish - in a beleaguered medical centre in the deprived South Shore area of Blackpool.

Dace feels like she's making progress and Jan seems to have thawed a bit. But then she meets Jack, a young heroin addict from Birmingham.
