An unsavoury stool sample and a dead patient give the new, male matron cause for concern.

Darkly comic series set in an old people's NHS ward. The new, male, modern matron starts work, and an unsavoury stool sample and dead patient give him cause for concern.

Ward B4 is a world of slips, trips and hips, where healthcare is at its least glamorous. Sister Den Flixter, Nurse Kim Wilde and Dr Pippa Moore assemble for ward round. The daily grind of new admissions and discharges has begun. But Hilary Loftus, the new, male, modern matron has just started work and an unsavoury stool sample and a dead patient give him cause for concern.
