All episodes of sitcom dubbed 'the funniest show on TV' are finally free to stream on BBC iPlayer
American mockumentary sitcom St Denis Medical, created by Superstore creators Eric Ledgin and Justin Spitzer, hit our screens on American broadcasting channel NBC in November 2024.
NBC's official synopsis of the show reads: 'An eclectic team of underfunded yet dedicated doctors, nurses and medical staff are doing their best not to lose their patience in an Oregon hospital overrun with patients – while caring for everyone who comes in the door, including each other.'
It stars the likes of Wendi McLendon-Convey, Alison Tolman, Josh Lawson, Kahyun Kim, Mekki Leeper, David Alan Grier and Kaliko Kauahi.
There has 18 episodes across one season so far.
And British fans will be over the moon to know that they can watch it all online thanks to the Beeb.
Those who have already seen the show have given it rave reviews.
The series has received 83% on the Tomatometer and 73% on the Popcornmeter.
And on IMDB, one said: 'Work in a safety net hospital and love it!!!'
'Just what the doctor ordered!'
'First of all, THANK YOU for creating this show! I recorded this show hoping for a win.'
'After just two episodes, St. Denis Medical has already won me over. The mockumentary format really brings the characters to life, and as a fan of the genre, I'm thrilled to see how each character is given their moment to shine.
'Each personality feels distinctive and well-rounded, which is essential in a show like this where comedy comes not just from situations but from the unique quirks and reactions of each character.'
'I don't understand all of these 1 or 2 star reviews people keep giving? I think this show is hilarious.
'Superstore is probably one of my all time favorite TV shows and I've been craving something to fill that void ever since it ended and this show does just that.'
Many viewers have rushed online to share their positive views on the mockumentary series
'Where do I start. Incredible actors, great direction, chuckle tier humor, comically ridiculous writing, and lovable characters.
'I originally saw the first episode as an advertisement on YouTube.'
According to The Metro, another fan has confessed: ''Absolutely hilarious! Funniest show on tv today!'
Fans will be ecstatic to know that the show will be returning for another series.
Creator Eric Ledgin told Deadline: 'We need to laugh together.
'We need [TV shows] that are just trying to entertain, and make you forget about everything for a few minutes.'
He added: 'I want to keep on the same course as we were on in season 1 [with] moments where we push the characters' relationships further along.
'[I also want] every episode to be a story unto itself.'
'We'll maybe get out of the hospital a little bit more [in season 2].'
Last year NBC was been widely praised by fans after it shared the first episode of its new comedy series St. Denis Medical directly onto TikTok in a bold marketing move.
The mockumentary, which follows overworked doctors and nurses working at an underfunded hospital in Oregan, premiered on November 12.
To tie in with its release, NBC uploaded the entire pilot episode onto its TikTok channel on November 16, splitting it into three bitesize parts.
The daring new move didn't go unnoticed by fans, who were quick to praise the network and share that they would continue to watch the show.
They also predicted that this marketing technique could be the future of television consumption.

Wimbledon 2025 explained: Dates, how to watch, prize money and odds
The world's best tennis players have very much arrived at Wimbledon, with the Championships getting under way under glorious sunshine at SW19. Skip to: Draw details How to watch How to buy Wimbledon tickets Prize money When do the Wimbledon finals take place? New to 2025 British players at Wimbledon Latest odds Draw details How to watch Wimbledon on TV and streaming in the UK The BBC is broadcasting the event on BBC One, BBC Two and iPlayer. Isa Guha (in the morning) and Clare Balding (in the afternoon) will lead the presenting team. They will be joined by John McEnroe, Martina Navratilova, Billie Jean King, Pat Cash, Tracy Austin, Tim Henman and Annabel Croft. Every match is available to stream live on the iPlayer. The popular highlights show, Today at Wimbledon, has been moved to a graveyard slot on BBC2 – at 11.55pm on day one and a similar time thereafter. For viewers who want to watch the highlights show earlier, it will still be available at 8pm or 9pm on the iPlayer. Nick Kyrgios will not be returning as a BBC pundit at Wimbledon this year after being hired in 2024. The corporation caused outrage 12 months ago by hiring the 'bad boy' of tennis just over a year after he admitted assaulting an ex-girlfriend. Kyrgios said the BBC's decision not to include him is ' their loss more than mine '. By UK law, Wimbledon is a 'Category B' television event, meaning that although the men's and women's finals must always remain free-to-air, there is no guarantee that the rest of the tournament will not one day be shown on pay-TV. TNT Sports has the rights to show the men's and women's finals as well as a nightly highlights show at 10pm every day of the tournament. How to watch Wimbledon on TV in the US ESPN has the rights to show 140-plus hours of coverage from Wimbledon in the United States. In 2021, ESPN signed a 12-year agreement to broadcast the event. Coverage begins each day at 6am Eastern Time. Where is Wimbledon held? The tournament takes place, as ever, at the All England Lawn Tennis Club on Church Road, Wimbledon. The competition has been held on this site since 1922, when The Championships were moved from their previous location on Worple Road. How to buy Wimbledon tickets The public Wimbledon ballot is closed, meaning that most tickets for the show courts are unavailable. However, one of the traditions of Wimbledon is 'the Queue'. Every day fans can queue for a ticket to one of the show courts or for a grounds pass, depending on what is available by the time they reach the front of the queue. Each day 500 tickets for Centre Court (excluding the last four days), No 1 Court, and No 2 Court are sold. A grounds pass entitles fans to access all courts apart from the show courts. Resale tickets for Centre Court, No 1 Court and No 2 Court are available from 3pm each day, from the ticket resale kiosk north of Court 18. For more ticket information, click here. What is the Wimbledon prize money? In 2025, total prize money is £53.5 million, up 7 per cent from last year and is double the figure awarded 10 years ago. The men's and women's singles champions will take home £3 million each. First-round losers in the singles will receive £66,000. When do the Wimbledon finals take place? The women's final takes place on Saturday, July 12, and the men's final the following day, Sunday July 13. New for 2025 No line judges In a major break from history for the Championships, an automated electronic line calling (ELC) system will be adopted this year, consigning line judges to the past. The technology will be in place across all Championships and qualifying match courts, with more than 450 cameras installed across the two venues to facilitate its operation. A contingent of the former line umpires will return to the tournament in the new role of match assistants. Change to finals weekend The men's and women's singles finals will start at 4pm, two hours later than usual, to appeal to global broadcasters, with both matches now beginning on the west coast of the United States at the more generous time of 8am, rather than 6am. The All England Club said the decision to move the singles finals to later slots, with doubles showpieces starting at 1pm 'makes for a better conclusion to the Championships'. Wimbledon court and stadium guide Wimbledon has six show courts: Centre Court, No 1 Court, No 2 Court, No 3 Court, Court 12 and Court 18. Centre is the largest court at the All England Club and features the famous Royal Box. The court capacity on Centre is 14,974 while Court No 1 can hold 12,345. There are 12 other grass courts in use throughout the tournament. Court 8 was where an 18-year-old John McEnroe made his SW19 bow against Egypt's Ismail El Shafei in 1977. In 1995, on Court 14, Tim Henman became the first player to be disqualified from Wimbledon when playing in a doubles match with Jeremy Bates against the United States' Jeff Tarango and Sweden's Henrik Holm. Henman was punished for whacking a ball in anger, accidentally hitting 16-year-old ball girl Caroline Hall in the head.

EastEnders fans open-mouthed as iconic BBC star appears in casino advert 21 years on from Walford exit - but do you recognise her?
EastEnders fans were left open-mouthed after an iconic BBC star appeared in a casino advert 21 years on from her Walford exit. Actress Hannah Waterman, 49, played Laura Beale in the hit show between 2000 and 2004. And while she was last seen on the Square more than two decades ago, some hardcore EastEnders fans have spotted her elsewhere. Taking to Reddit, one fan shared a snap of her posing as the model on the KenoGO advert in Australia. They asked: 'So I'm living in Australia currently and this advert keeps popping up on the TV and now social media. 'Is it Laura Beale's actress Hannah Waterman?' Taking to Reddit , one fan shared a snap of her posing as the model on the KenoGO advert in Australia (pictured) Another replied: 'Yeah looks like it, and I read somewhere that she moved to Australia a few years ago.' 'Yeah Hannah Waterman has lived in Australia for years. She was in Home and Away recently.' 'Looks like it lol!' Hannah took on the role of childminder and chip shop worker Laura. She first appeared on the show in 2000 and went on to be involved in a number of storylines. The character was married to Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt), but also had an affair with Garry Hobbs (Ricky Groves). Laura was killed off in 2004 after she fell down the stairs and broke her neck. Although Hannah is arguably know for playing Laura in the BBC hit, she has landed various other telly roles over the years. The star played Maria in Casualty, Maria Thomas in Doctors, Fern Parker in The Bill, Emily Driscoll in New Dricks, Kate in The Afternoon Play and Ruby Macintosh in Holby City. She also played DI Collier in Doctors, Rosemary Miller in BAli 2002 and Magistrate in Home and Away, most recently.

Hannah has been with Huw Higginson since 2010 and they share one child together. Over the past 12 years Hannah has lived in Down Under with her family. Her Instagram bio states: 'UK actress based in Sydney.' It comes after an iconic EastEnders star looks unrecognisable four decades on from her soap debut. Mary 'the Punk' Smith, played by Linda Davidson, featured in the serial drama's original cast when it first aired back in 1985. She was a single mother to her daughter Annie and viewers saw the complicated character struggle to raise her child and earn money all while sporting her distinctive style. From becoming a prostitute to various failed romances, Mary had several controversial storylines before she left the show in 1988. Linda reprised the role in 2019 when she attended the funeral of fellow original cast member Dr Harold Legg and again in 2022 for Dot Cotton's funeral.
