New ITV drama- Monroe

Next month James Nesbitt, my guilty guy crush, returns to our screens in a major six part medical drama series for ITV1. Nesbitt plays brilliant neurosurgeon Gabriel Monroe who performs cutting edge brain surgery, but at home is afraid to admit to himself his life is falling apart. Nobody is more aware of this than his colleague Jenny Bremner, played by Sarah Parish, who has no time for the depleted surgeon. However he has an ally in anaesthetist Lawrence Shepherd (Tom Riley), and determined to unearth her sense of humour.

In the first episode on the 10 March Alison Corby is admitted with a brain tumour and Monroe has to help her make a frightening decision. To go ahead with an operation could leave Alison paralysed, but without surgery she is likely to die within a few years.
