It's a big day for senior registrar Kate Dickenson (Ashley Jensen) - her promotion to superintendent is about to be announced and she knows not everyone will be happy with the news. But even she is not prepared for what happens when her colleague James (Mark Stanley) makes an impromptu announcement of his own.
