Green Wing returns

...but only for a one-off


Channel 4 has commissioned a one-off 90-minute episode of Green Wing – fuelling fears the hospital comedy will not return for a third series.

The feature-length special is likely to tie up plot ends that fans might otherwise hope would have developed in a new season. But that is looking increasingly unlikely, as the large ensemble cast, and creator Victoria Pile, move on to other projects.

A spokeswoman for Pile has told trade newspaper Broadcast that a Green Wing special will air later this year, adding: ‘Beyond that we’ll wait and see.’

Despite the critical acclaim of the first series, the second run earlier this year could not attract audiences to match the hype, with a heavy promotional campaign only bringing in ratings of around 1.8 million.

An online petition calling for the series to return has attracted more than 1,500 signatures – slightly fewer than a campaign to bring WWE wrestling to Flemish television.

Channel 4 confirmed the one-off had been commissioned to air later this year.

Wait are we saying that Green Wing keeps people sane?? You know I would have thought it causes insanity.....


I said words with my mouth, you heard them with your ears, you understood them with your brain. Is that correct?

That's not a 'one-off' - that's the bona fide episode 9 of series 2. Tsk!

And do they really need a petition to know how much we all love Green Wing - I would have thought it was obvious from all the activity here.

Yeah I wonder if any of them (that's writers, actors, big C4 bods) ever cruise past this forum and have a read... I wonder what they would make of all this debating and theorising, knowing that they had the answers to all our speculation!! Hehehe!
