Show
Green Wing is a British sitcom set in the fictional East Hampton Hospital. It was created by the same team behind the sketch show Smack the Pony, led by Victoria Pile, and stars Tamsin Greig, Stephen Mangan and Julian Rhind-Tutt. Although set in a hospital, it uses no medical storylines; the action is produced by a series of soap opera-style twists and turns in the personal lives of the characters. They proceed through a series of often absurd sketch-like scenes, or by sequences where the film is slowed down or sped up, often emphasizing the body language of the characters. The show has eight writers. Two series were made by the Talkback Thames production company for Channel 4. The series ran between 3 September 2004 and 19 May 2006. A special episode was filmed with the second series, which was shown as a 90 minute long special on 4 January 2007 in the UK, but was shown in Australia and Belgium on 29 December 2006. Separate from the series, a special sketch was made for Comic Relief and screened on 11 March 2005. Another was performed live at The Secret Policeman's Ball on 14 October 2006.

Stephen Mangan and Michelle Gomez have a tendency to improvise - the scene between Guy and Sue White where Guy is holding a child is entirely improvised, for example.
The speed up/slowdown scenes are occasionally used to mask actors breaking, or to disguise a change between takes.
The show contains both the onscreen and off-screen love interest of Jack Davenport. Sarah Alexander who played Steve's (Davenport's) fiancée Susan from Coupling, and Jack Davenport's real life wife Michelle Gomez.
Tamsin Greig (Dr. Caroline Todd) & Stephen Mangan (Dr. Guillaume Secretan) also worked together on Episodes (2011) as Beverly & Sean Lincoln respectively.
Filmed at Northwick Park Hospital, Harrow
"Dr. Macartney: Join me again next week on this episode of "Let's make no fucking sense" when I will be waxing an owl."
"Dr. Alan Statham: Do you want me to report you for that earring? Dr. Macartney: Only if I can report you for the moustache. Dr. Alan Statham: Most females find body piercing repugnant. Luckily, I am still intact. Dr. Macartney: Yes, even I draw the line at piercing arseholes. [leaves] Dr. Alan Statham: Exactly! [realizes insult] Dr. Angela Hunter: Banter? Dr. Alan Statham: Yes."
