I dont know if anyone has mentioned this programme before but a new series begins tonight on CH4 at 10 pm. Its a comedy drama set in a hospital revolving around 4 nurses and each situation ends in a small clip of a classic / nothern soul / motown record relating to this. I watched an old episode last week and really enjoyed it.
Heres a sample list of the CD taken from the second series. Great stuff
As Channel 4's hospital-based drama No Angels returns for a 2nd series, the soundtrack features classic Motown moments from the likes of Gladys Knight and The Pips, Barbara McNair, a classic duet from Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, the queen of soul Aretha Franklin and Betty Wright among others, all of which perfectly complement the shows plot to good effect.
