Featuring an impressive cast (including Jeffrey Thomas, Craig Parker, Alison Bruce and Tim Balme), award-winning 'sea-change' series Mercy Peak hit the right note with its down-home sincerity and quirky but complex characters. In this first episode, 'What She Least Expected', Doctor Nicky Somerville (Sara Wiseman) discovers the cheating ways of her partner (a deliciously oily Simon Prast) and decides it's time to start over in the unknown territory of Bassett. Nicky is immediately embroiled in hospital politics, medical emergencies and small-town scandal — but it all suits her adventurous spirit perfectly.
