The idea of a mock-doc set in an NHS hospital might be about as appetising as a plate of industrially steamed carrots, but Hospital People manages to pull it off. Tonight sees the last episode in the series: a warm-hearted affair in which the hospital's various hapless characters (all played by Tom Binns) get it together to record a charity single. The gags may have something of an 80s sitcom feel, but only a churl would begrudge the song at the end.
