Pretty promising start. Good to see Kris Marshall in a comedy again.

I particularly liked the asides from the minor characters. eg the patients.


All in all, some great lines and I laughed a lot.

Not sure at first but tuned in by the end!! Will be watching the other episodes. Great to see Kris Marshall back on the Beeb. :)

Another good ±«Óãtv3 Comedy pilot. It will be interesting to see how it develops.

Also glad to see Kris gainfully employed after his Estate Agent show was not re-commissioned sometime ago

I personally found it a bit weird. Marshal reminded me of Simon Pegg in Spaced, which isn't a bad thing. I reckon it'll pick up as the series goes on as we get used to the characters and their issues.

Kris Marshall is as great as ever - others are good support. Pity about the poor, one theme dialogue - didn't bother to watch it to the end.

I thought it was very funny - some laugh out loud moments. Karen Taylor drying her nails with an oygen mask being one of them.

looking forward to a full series. Like Jo Brand's Nurses comedy - its very believable.

well done Beeb

Very promising. Hope there are more episodes to follow.

Couldn't watch this to the end, even with Kris Marshall...
most definitely DOA.

Really liked the tone, and the writing was excellent. Particularly strong performances from the actors too. I hope there's a full series.

DOA brilliant

Speaking as an A&E nurse from leeds - very funny pilot altho alittle overstated humour at times. Would watch the series.

Not sure I was that keen on it, I like kris marshall but his humour is usually way better than this gives him credit for. Completely unbelievable plotlines poorly put together.

I expected a lot more from this than I got, a couple of laughs but a lot of cringeworthy stuff.

Overstated rubbish. Pity because the two main actors deserve better

As someone who works in the ambulance service, I was hoping for D.O.A to be very witty and full of the 'funny' side of the job.. we are served a very good dose of Medic gags, drying nails with O2, Female Para's attitude towards patients, hair band round the crocs mouth.. But some of it displayed very cringeful stuff that does not serve Paramedics Justice... 'Toys' in the equipment box, Being ill on duty, refusing to see patients, civi's administering drugs... I was hoping for them to display professionalism on the jobs they go on, with the gags worked in, not the other way round... I know its only light hearted, but with the cast and the set it has, it really could be so much more... I will recording the series though.

It could have been really funny - without the hackneyed foul language and hyped up nonsense that is so cliched

It's kind of like Casualty blended with Bodies and Green Wing. I'd like to see how a series would pan out.

I like the idea, well written and performed, some very good gags, just could have done with a few more. I would like to see more of it though.

at 10.41 mins of the program,what is the song called because i have been wanting to know for ages!

Not expecting this to be a true reflection of the Ambulance Service, but would not have been so out of place in the Seventies!

Anyway Nick the song is Unconditional by The Bravery

A brilliant watch, really enjoyed it and laughed out loud. But who does the woman in it remind you of? She is a cross between Chas Dingle and Michelle Connor (Kim Marsh. So who exactly is she and what has she starred in before?

i wasn't able to find out how many episodes this fantastic comedy will have, there's anyone who could tell me that?

thanks, and ±«Óãtv is my favourite channel.

As it's a pilot program will this be commissioned?
At least you can laugh at Kris, unlike his ad for a particular phone company. As for Karen she's very humerous and compliments Kris like the girl in his advert.

Just a message for Danny Cohen about Freaks like Me. How can you have a guy, Dan 23, that changes bad diction whilst wearing a T shirt saying CLIC?
Surely he would get his red pen and add a 'K'
No more of these and plenty of DOA and your other decent comedy

I would rather beat myself with a dead haddock than watch another episode of this drivel.

Hi, a promising start. Do you have other characters in mind? I have a few suggestions, another amb crew who have 'all the gear - no idea'. Possibly people who work for St John's ambulance who like to bandage everything/every part of their life is an emergency..
A miserable Para who has been doing the job 20 odd years and to him the amb is van and a man & who detests any new young enthusiastic & knowledgable paramedic. Incestuous relationships at work with other amb workers/nurses/doctors that ruin their long term relationships at home. The dizzy one who may forget to bring any/wrong equipment needed in a cardiac arrest etc
I think medical humour should always be as dark as possible for it to work as it is an inbred personality trait...a family of sinics. I think the female in the pilot is great. Most jobs are not 'emergencies' but picking up drunk people, Old people who fall, psychiatrics & regulars who just want company (drinkers) sometimes someone may just have a papercut. Go darker - my advice!More sarcasm.

Fantastic program, making a subject normally prime for gritty, or otherwise, drama into a funny and surprising comedy.

Loved it. More please, not just a one off I hope.

Funny and original. When can we expect a series??? I've just contacted ±«Óãtv Information and they have no idea if this will be commissioned. Which is a bit frustrating tbh.

I Work for the ambulance service and found the pilot to be priceless and cringworthy at the same time - More Please ! Surgical spirit with Guts !

I also work for the ambulance service, this pilot was brilliant classic gritty brit gold, scarily like the real job at times! Cannot wait for more episodes, well done!

Really funny. Was laughing out loud. Rude , a bit crazy and down to earth, I love it

Anyone know any news on this? I loved it and really hoping for a full series. Searched around on-line buy can't find anything!

I really enjoyed it, looking forward to the series

I stumbled across this on iplayer and thought it was brilliant. Knowing some paramedics and nurses, this probably has some truth in the dark humour.
I hope this becomes a full series, it may be adult humour but contains some brilliant comedy.
