Offbeat comic drama following the experiences of Latvian locum Dr Dace Zake.

It's Dr Zake's first day in a deprived area of Blackpool but she's late, which does not go down well. Stars Dolya Gavanski.

Offbeat comic drama 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.

She's late on her first day, incurring 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.

Starring Dolya Gavanski.
