Reversals

One-off drama, starring Marc Warren as a successful surgeon who arrives to take up a prestigious new position in Manchester, only to find his doctor girlfriend has beaten him to it, assuming his name, gender and job in a bid to further her own career : and teach him a lesson for being unfaithful. Understandably furious, yet equally desperate to salvage their relationship, he responds by getting dragged up in tights, a short skirt and false breasts, and assuming her identity in an audacious : not to say wildly implausible : bid to ensure she isn't found out. Once established in their new roles, both are forced to learn new social skills and fend off the attentions of amorous colleagues as they struggle to maintain the deception and expose a gynaecologist carrying out unnecessary hysterectomies. Written by Tim Loane, creator and writer of Teachers, this challenging tale co-stars Sarah Parish, Anthony Stewart Head, Indira Varma and Jeremy Swift
