Synopsis:

One of the major success stories of ITV children's programming, this BAFTA Award-winning show ran for over a decade and detailed the trials and tribulations of staff and patients at a children's ward in a busy hospital. Co-written by award-winning writers Paul Abbott (Shameless) and Kay Mellor (The Chase), the series pulled no punches and was loved by adults and children alike for its realistic portrayal of mature themes in a sensitive manner. This complete second series sees the return of former anorexia sufferer Keely - this time, not as a patient. The arrival of a young stabbing victim, Matthew, also brings gang rivalries onto the children's ward, and newcomer Nurse Mitchell proves a formidable presence for the established staff and patients of South Park General.

Children's Ward (retitled The Ward from 1995 to 1998) is a British children's television drama series produced by Granada Television and broadcast on the ITV network as part of its Children's ITV strand on weekday afternoons. The programme was set, as the title suggests, in the children's ward of a hospital, and told the stories of the patients and staff present there. Aimed at older children and teenagers, Children's Ward was a long-lived series for a children's drama, starting life in 1988 as a contribution to the Dramarama anthology strand, "Blackbird Singing In The Dead of Night", then first broadcast as a series 1989 and running from then until 2000.

Children's hospital drama series.
