Does anyone have the pilot script (or any episode script) for Bramwell (1995, British TV show)? I can't seem to find it anywhere and want to study Victorian-era, medical dialogue!
(Would also appreciate recommendations or scripts for other well-written Victorian-era medical shows/movies).
So last night I was trying to find something new to watch, and browsing over various "best of" lists, including Best Period Dramas in the Victorian Era (how specific!) which eventually led me to one called Bramwell. It's a British TV show (four seasons) that aired in 1995, set 100 years ago about a woman, Eleanor Bramwell, training to be a doctor during the late Victorian era, and eventually setting up a free health clinic of sorts in London's East End. I'm only about 3 episodes in (they're about an hour each) but I'm already loving it! How did I never know about this show? Okay, granted, I grew up in the US so maybe it just wasn't aired/advertised here, but still, that's 25+ years that I missed out on this show!
The very first episode tackles such weighty subjects as a patient's right to know about their own health, and the ghastly way women were treated and lied to about STIs because of the "delicacy" of the subject, and generally railroaded about their own health decisions. Of course, there are moments of lightness, too, and Bramwell is a strong, determined character full of conviction and idealism. I'm so excited to have a new/old show to dip into! If anyone else is curious, it's streaming for free on Amazon Prime (with ads), and I think I saw that it's available on Tubi and Crackle as well (in the US, anyway).
