Flatearth E.R.
Dramedy Series
(13 x 30)
In Development
An aging and cantankerous small town doctor is forced to take on a high energy and highly urban South African surgeon in her mid fifties. Will Flatearth society survive the clash of wills?
Developed with the participation of VisionTV, SCN and SaskFilm.
Dr. Anika Kroeker has arrived from Cape Town, South Africa. The good people of Flatearth are thrilled that they can finally reopen the Emergency Room that has been unstaffed for six years. Old Doc Maguire is a little more ambivalent. Never a surgeon, he should be happy to have some real help. But his instinct tells him Anika is never going to fit in, and will probably move on to a big city pretty soon; his fear is that she won’t. Doc’s comfortable existence is about to be shaken up and worse, he thinks the town might ‘put him out to pasture’. Anika, still reeling from the loss of her physician husband, who was supposed to have joined her on this “adventure”, thinks she may have just made a colossal mistake. Pride and prejudice, mixed with a healthy dose of stubbornness, is a perfect prescription for this heartfelt dramedy.
