Porters(2017)

Porters is a British comedy series following Simon Porter, a deluded dreamer convinced he'll become a doctor despite starting his career as a hospital porter. Armed with unbridled optimism and questionable logic, Simon sets his sights on becoming the best porter the NHS has ever seen—convinced this humble role is merely a stepping stone to medical greatness. The show mines comedy from the gap between Simon's inflated self-image and the grinding reality of hospital life, as he navigates the demands of his job, the skepticism of colleagues, and the absurdity of his own misguided ambitions. Set within the chaotic corridors of an NHS hospital, Porters captures the everyday frustrations and unexpected camaraderie of healthcare workers while poking fun at one man's spectacular delusion.
