Out of Hours is a six-part British television medical drama series,[1][2] first broadcast on BBC One on 20 May 1998.
Set in the fictional city of Haventry in Birmingham, the series focuses on the lives of three "out of hours" GPs, Dr. Cathy Harding (Lindsey Coulson),[3] Dr. Daniel Laing (John McArdle)[4] and Dr. Paul Featherstone (Dominic West).
For the premiere episode, the Radio Times ran a double-page spread on the series, entitled "the surgery is now closed".
The series was notable for featuring Dominic West's first television role, having only previously acted in film.
She went on to say how the cast (whom she praised) tried to find their footing but couldn't and that there was a lot of potential.
