You can’t really knock ITV for sheer production of drama, and yesterday it announced details of yet another new project. I sort of knew about this early doors – I’d overheard one of the starring actors chat about it somewhere, but didn’t know which channel it was going out on. Now I do. It’s called Harley Street, stars ex-Corrie actress Suranne Jones, Paul Nicholls and Shaun Parkes. Say what you will after reading a mini synopsis below, but I think ITV is aiming for some sort of Nip/Tuck vibe with these.

So, Harley Street is based around a private practice that’s run by three partners – heneral medical practitoners Martha (Jones), Robert (Nicholls) and lifestyle surgeon Ekkow (Parkes). The practice is one of those ‘wraparound’ health care places – where the doctors are with their patients every step of a patient’s medical journey. Watch out for glossiness, some plastic surgery and some ‘complex personal relationships’ between the doctors. Supporting cast includes Kim Mecalf, James Fox, Leslie Phillips (!) and Will Mellor, and it’s all being filmed as I write this. Look out for it later in the year.
