Green Wing

Green Wing

Green Wing is an award-winning British sitcom set in the fictional East Hampton Hospital. It was created by the same team behind the sketch show Smack the Pony – Channel 4 commissioner Caroline Leddy and producer Victoria Pile – and stars Tamsin Greig, Stephen Mangan and Julian Rhind-Tutt. Although set in a hospital, it uses no medical storylines; the action is produced by a series of soap opera-style twists and turns in the personal lives of the characters. They proceed through a series of often absurd sketch-like scenes, or by sequences where the film is slowed down or sped up, often emphasising the body language of the characters. The show had eight writers. Two series were made by the Talkback Thames production company for Channel 4. The series ran between 3 September 2004 and 19 May 2006. One episode, filmed with the second series, was shown as a 90-minute-long special on 4 January 2007 in the UK, but was shown earlier in Australia and Belgium on 29 December 2006. Separate from the series, a sketch was made for Comic Relief and screened on 11 March 2005. Another was performed live at The Secret Policeman's Ball on 14 October 2006.

Sue White:
[sitting at her desk, she has put a fan in front of her so that her hair flows freely in the wind. Throughout the conversation she wriggles around on her desk seductively]

Dr. Macartney:
It is a ridiculous shift pattern if it allows Secretan the arse and another key member of my team to go off at the same time, you know - together!

Sue White:
Key member of the team? - no. Scatterbrain floozy? yes!

Dr. Macartney:
Okay, I don't want to be without the scatterbrain floozy and without the arrogant knobhead at the same time.

Sue White:
Well, there is more than adequate cover.

Dr. Macartney:
I don't think there is.

Sue White:
Guy is far from irreplaceable, now that is something you've always said.

Dr. Macartney:
Yes, I've always said that - very happy to have him out of my sight.

Sue White:
And, you managed fine before the scatterbrain floozy arrived.

Dr. Macartney:
Did I?

Sue White:
Yeah!

Dr. Macartney:
Yes, I suppose I did, yes.

Sue White:
So what's the problem?

Dr. Macartney:
I don't want them to be off - both at the same time! I don't!

Sue White:
Why?

Dr. Macartney:
Just because.

Sue White:
Because why?

Dr. Macartney:
Because... because guy is a wanker!

Sue White:
Yeah, well, I actually, you know I don't draw up the rosters.

Dr. Macartney:
Sorry, are y?u on my side here, or not...?

Sue White:
Dr Macartney, Dr Macartney, yes, I'm always on your side, you know I'm by your side, I'm up your side, I'm through your side, I'm *under* your side... I'm all over your side.

Dr. Macartney:
Okay, that's time for me to go now, okay. [leaves]

Sue White:
I can do headstands! Now, would you like to see that? Would you...? The...? Would you like to see that? [she stands up, pulls up her skirt and fans her crotch] Ohhhh...

[Sue has bought Guy at the slave auction since Mac wasn't available]

Sue White:
Right, now, you are my slave and I can make you do anything I want you to, Dr Secretan.

Dr. Guilaume Secretan:
Yeah, within reason.

Sue White:
Well, not necessarily. [she pulls a red curly wig out of her bag] Right, for instance, pop this on.

Dr. Guilaume Secretan:
What?

Sue White:
Go on, slave, pop that on!

[Guy puts the wig on reluctantly]

Sue White:
Oohh, good, just, er, you know, suck your cheeks in.

Dr. Guilaume Secretan:
Why?

Sue White:
Just do it! Just pretend you've got cheekbones.

Dr. Guilaume Secretan:
Right, okay... [he does as he is told]

Sue White:
And say "Hello, Sue".

Dr. Guilaume Secretan:
Hello, Sue.

Sue White:
[she moans]..."I'm Dr McCartney"...

Dr. Guilaume Secretan:
I'm Dr... ahhhhh. Oh, I'm not saying it, oh, for God's sake!

Sue White:
Yeah, touch my bottom! Touch! Touch it!

[Guy grabs it reluctantly]

Sue White:
Haaaahhhh, ahhoh, hihhihi...! [she giggles girlishly]

Sue White:
Well, let's buy a sofa together, Mac, shall we? Shall we? It's nice, isn't it?

Dr. Guilaume Secretan:
Oh, it's great.

Sue White:
Nice showroom, this, isnt it? Not too busy for a Saturday? Like this one? Shall we? Shall we buy it?

Dr. Guilaume Secretan:
Yes, let's buy it, darling.

Sue White:
Oooohhh, okay!

Dr. Guilaume Secretan:
I could see my white puny body draped across it. I can see my ginger pubes collecting in the cracks.

Sue White:
Can you? Oh stop it! Ohhh, in my crack! Collecting in my crack! Oh, lovely! Oooooohhh, you lovely thing!

Sue White:
Dr Secretan... are you ok?

Dr. Guilaume Secretan:
[sobbing] Don't touch me.

Sue White:
And you're hiding in the coats because?

Dr. Guilaume Secretan:
I feel safe here... It reminds me of...

Sue White:
Being locked up when you were a boarding school boy for being caught tampering with your down belows?

Dr. Guilaume Secretan:
Yep... No! I just wanted some space - would you just go away?

Sue White:
No. Now what's the problem? I'm here to help, to listen, to soothe.

Dr. Guilaume Secretan:
My mother's womb is no more.

Sue White:
Oh, dear. Hysterectomy?

Dr. Guilaume Secretan:
No, she died when I was very young. Left me motherless and now my life is just a shambles without her and it's getting worse... I mean, look at my eyes

Sue White:
There's nothing wrong with your eyes... you have very nice eyes. If a little on the pokey side.

Dr. Guilaume Secretan:
Don't be nice to me!

Sue White:
Oh, all right! Pull yourself together you cretinous F***wit! What sort of a man hides in other people's coats? Rocking and whinging to themselves? I'll tell you what sort of a man... a self centered, egotistical wankbot. Now unhook yourself... and stop being so weak. Men don't cry. They are strong hunter-gatherers! So go hunt, go gather and be a total *c*nt* because that's what you do best!

Dr. Guilaume Secretan:
[shouts] F*** you! You ugly b*tch... Oh, that feels so much better. Do you fancy a quick fiddle now we're in here?

Sue White:
Well, I am tempted because I'm all fired up. But no, thanks, I'd rather lick my own armpit.
