Alice Roberts: Our Hospital Through Time: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

St Bartholomew's Hospital is one of the most extraordinary institutions in the world: the oldest hospital in Britain still operating on its original site, and today a global leader in cutting-edge medicine.

This series has unprecedented access to both its modern wards and its private archive – a unique collection spanning nearly 1,000 years of medical history, unseen anywhere else. Leading the series is Professor Alice Roberts, whose expertise as an anatomist and historian places her at the heart of this journey. From brutal early surgery to robot-assisted operations, she reveals how centuries of risk and innovation shaped modern medicine.
