Angels: Series 2 (BBC1 1976) – Viewing Notes

'Angels: Home Sweet Home' (BBC1, 8 June 1976) Nurses Rutherford (Fiona Fullerton) and Morahan (Erin Geraghty).

The second series of the pioneering BBC1 student nurse series Angels (April 6 – June 29 1976) is available on DVD from Simply Media. I wrote up some viewing notes while I was watching it, concentrating on directorial style and the preoccupations of individual scriptwriters.
