The Royal

Welcome to The Royal in the 1960s - a local hospital in North Yorkshire town of Elsinby.

A motor-bike crash brings a cruel end to a romantic escapade for a young couple.

Dr. Weatherill is taught an important lesson about jumping to conclusions. Greengrass tries his hand at smuggling.

Jill Wetherill helps an elderly couple, whilst Sister Brigid, a secular Irish nun working as a nurse at the Royal, discovers an abandoned baby.

David Cheriton is faced with the unenviable task of telling young Francesca that she has only a short time to live, though it does lead to a wedding.

The cause of a schoolboy's illness is found too close to home. Meanwhile, teamwork brings Ormerod and Weatherill closer than they expect.

It's Dr. Alway's last day at the Royal before retirement but he is kept busy following a bus crash, one of the wounded being Dr. Ormerod's wife Caroline.
