Still can't get Slippy's attention

"It is incomprehensible...that Pelageya, built as a she was, like an ox, could be felled by something so small as a Typhoid louse." Not quite the tribute Anna was hoping for, from Young Doctor.

What if she asks him to dance? Young Doctor's head has been turned by the beautiful, aristocratic Natasha and perfecting his waltz is a high priority.

What's that, Daniel Radcliffe, you used to listen to Xfm Breakfast and wondered if I was 'Pete'? #howembarrassing pic.twitter.com/Cfo8hMXWXK

Scrub up! We're taking you for an exclusive look behind the scenes of our favourite Russian hospital, and Daniel Radcliffe reveals how he was almost tricked into recording opera vocals for the new series.

There's a morphine shortfall the size of a pond and Young Doctor thinks he knows how to fix it. By changing the past!

It's 1918 and civil war rages throughout Russia, but has yet to reach the remote hospital in Mureyvo. The Young Doctor and midwife, Pelageya, are in a relationship, albeit one based primarily on the fact she is able to both facilitate and conceal his morphine addiction. Skip to 1935 and an upbeat, rehabilitated Older Doctor is in Moscow being discharged from the institution he was sent to at the end of series one. He returns to his memories of 1918 through his notebook and in contrast to the first series, he now loves life and is no longer sneering towards his younger self.

The hospital learn that the Zemstvo is coming for an inspection, sending the Young Doctor and Pelageya into a panic as they might uncover the morphine shortfall.

But under the cynical eyes of the Older Doctor, they cover their tracks by re-filling the morphine bottles with water. The arrival of a group of injured Bolshevik soldiers means the Young Doctor's skills are fully tested.

'I owe everything to Potter, but playing a character for so long gives you this pent-up energy and desire to try as many different things as possible. The films I made last year and A Young Doctor have been huge leaps forward for me. I think I am getting better at knowing what I am good and not good for,’ he says.

Jon Hamm (Mad Men) and Daniel Radcliffe talk exclusively about the brand new series and take us behind the scenes of our favourite Russian hospital. 

"I'm sure they're going to have a great time. I'm sure a lot of people will be really excited." "I, needless to say, won't be involved. I don't know if any of us (the original Potter cast) will be. I know nothing about it."

“I had an amazing time on Cripple. It was a great show, with a great company. It was slightly exhausting in the last month as I was doing that at the same time as shooting this [Young Doctor’s Notebook].” “That [theatre] is real work, so I am going to have to give it a little more time before I go back to it, I think.”
