Angels: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Angels was a British television drama series dealing with the subject of student nurses and was once described as the "Z-Cars of nursing".

It was the one of the first medical soaps to concentrate more or less exclusively on the nurses rather than the doctors, and is now seen as the direct predecessor to shows such as Casualty and Holby City.
