The Latvian Locum

Available for over a year

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. It's Dr Dace's first day working at the medical centre. She's late, which incurs the wrath of Jan the receptionist and she encounters a man throwing up into a carrier bag outside the surgery. Not a good start to the day. Written in five parts by Ben Cottam. Dr Dace Zake ...... Dolya Gavanski Jan ...... Michelle Holmes Chris ...... Ben Cottam Candis ...... Talisa Garcia Jack ......
