Producer Tom Ware and director Lee Haven Jones, will give a talk and show clips from the first and second series of this comedy drama.

The first series of 5 × 45 minute episode starred Sanjeev Bhaskar as a high-flying immigrant doctor who finds himself working in 1960s Wales.

It focused on the Asian doctors who came to Britain following an invitation by then health minister, Enoch Powell. Co-produced with Avatar, filming took place in the village of Blaenavon and the series subsequently won an RTS 2010 Programme Award in the Daytime and Early-Peak Programme category.

The second series, set at a time when smallpox was prevalent in south Wales, will be shown on BBC One later this year.

This event is open to Members and non-Members of Skillset Medi Academy Wales and is free of charge.
