A darkly powerful and blackly funny exposé of the horrors of life as a junior doctor, from the BAFTA award-winning creator of Bodyguard and Line of Duty and co-creator of the graphic novel Sleeper

''Funny, readable, galling, painful and terrifying in all the right places'' Guardian

Inside every hospital exists a world no outsider is allowed to see: a storm of malpractice, corruption, sex, drink and drop-dead exhaustion.

But for first day junior doctors, their initiation into this world - the ''Killing Season'' - is about to begin.

A whistle-blowing despatch from the frontlines of hospital life, Jed Mercurio''s Bodies takes us on a nerve-jangling journey through one junior doctor''s loss of innocence, and his desperate, dangerous attempts to right his - and his colleagues''- wrongs.
