Born and Bred is a British light-hearted 1950s-set medical drama series aired on BBC One which ran from 21 April 2002 to 3 August 2005.
Initially the cast was led by James Bolam and Michael French as a father and son who run a cottage hospital in Ormston, a fictitious village in Lancashire, in the 1950s.
The lead characters are Dr Arthur Gilder and his son Tom, who together run the cottage hospital under the National Health Service.
Other characters include the station master, Wilf Bradshaw; his daughter, Jean, who owns a scrapyard and later marries Eddie Mills, a mechanic; and the vicar, the Reverend Eustacius Brewer.
Arthur and Tom depart in the third series, and are replaced by Dr Donald Newman in the episode "And Is There Still Honey For Tea?"
