Tense, gripping, darkly humorous and scarily unsettling: the critically acclaimed Bodies, winner of the Royal Televison Society Award for Best Drama Series, concludes with a 90-minute finale.
Ìý
Rob Lake's (Max Beesley) life has changed beyond recognition since he fought to prevent patients coming to harm at the hands of his incompetent boss, Roger Hurley (Patrick Baladi).
Ìý
Now, three years on, Rob is making a fresh start with a new job as a consultant and is expecting a baby with Registrar Polly Grey (Tamzin Malleson).
Ìý
However, it's not long before Hurley resurfaces – with a police caution, a broken marriage, and the same medical skills – and Rob must confront his nemesis one last time.
Ìý
Will Tony Whitman (Keith Allen) get off suspension and Donna Rix (Neve McIntosh) return to nursing, or will Rob have to go it alone?

John Yorke, ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳'s Joint Head of Independent Drama, says: "Bodies is one of those rare series that manages to combine extraordinary acting, writing and direction and has something to say. It's a privilege to be able to bring it back for one final outing."
Ìý
