MALPRACTICE
SUNDAY, 9PM, ITV1 DRAMA
The tense investigation into Dr Lucinda Edwards’ actions following a patient’s death has left viewers of ITV1 thriller Malpractice on the edge of their sofas.
For the drama’s writer, Grace Ofori-Attah, the high-pressure world that Lucinda (played by Niamh Algar) and her colleagues inhabit is a familiar one – Grace worked as an NHS doctor for over a decade, spending time in A&E as a junior medic before becoming a psychiatrist.
As the penultimate episode sees the enquiry intensify, here, in an exclusive interview, Grace tells TV Times why she wanted to pen the series…
You must be thrilled with the reaction to Malpractice…
I’ve been overwhelmed! The reviews I was most nervous about were those from medical professionals. But we had a screening with doctors and it was resoundingly positive. They said their hearts were racing and it was stressful to watch!
How much of the five-part series is based on what you witnessed as a doctor?
