A new medical drama titled Doc premieres tonight, starring Molly Parker as Dr. Amy Larsen, a physician who loses the past eight years of her memory following a car crash. The amnesia means she forgets her divorce and must rely on colleagues she has previously crossed and her teenage daughter, whom she remembers as a nine-year-old, to piece together her life.
The series has been described as a slow and maudlin medical drama, drawing comparisons to the US hit The Pitt, which has yet to air in the UK. Parker's performance anchors the show as her character navigates the gaps in her memory while continuing to work in a hospital setting.
Other highlights in tonight's TV lineup include the latest episode of the Philippines-set reality show, which introduces exes to stir up drama among newlyweds, and a documentary examining the Madeleine McCann case, focusing on suspect Christian Brückner. The documentary explores why German authorities have been unable to charge him despite suspicions.
Additionally, a series using recent news footage treats the second Trump presidency as an unfolding drama, highlighting his willingness to ignore democratic norms, such as deploying the National Guard to patrol LA and Washington DC. The thriller Sally McGowan concludes its run, while Welsh drama The Light in the Hall airs its penultimate episode featuring Matthew Gravelle as a doting father.
