The Royal
Snakes and Ladders
Season 2 Episode 2 of 6
A teenage boy is brought into the Royal having fallen from a cliff, but it soon emerges that the incident was a suicide attempt as evidence of extreme depression comes to the surface. Dr Cheriton contacts the youngster's psychiatrist, but is taken aback when electroshock therapy is suggested as a form of treatment, so ventures to the family home to recommend an alternative - only for tragedy to strike. Meanwhile, a hypochondriac causes chaos at the hospital when she insists her dog be treated following a snake bite, and a heart-to-heart talk between Drs Weatherill and Ormerod leads to a passionate kiss. Honor Blackman guest stars
The Royal airs on ITV3 at 10:35 AM, Thursday 17 April. (Subtitles.)
