Best Medicine

Tuesday 9th June at 8pm on Sky One

Martin Best is the brilliant new surgeon in town, whose blunt and borderline rude bedside manner rubs the quirky, needy locals the wrong way. While he's brilliant at his job, he's really just desperate to be left the hell alone.

What the locals don't know is that Martin's terse demeanour masks a debilitating new phobia and deep-seated psychological issues that prevent him from experiencing true intimacy with anyone. But tenacity is the creed of everyone in their small village, and the people who live there may be exactly what the doctor ordered.

Isle of Wight Festival 2026

In 1995 eighteen minutes of grainy film was mysteriously unearthed and stunned the world. The footage appeared to show three government officials in hazmat suits dissecting the corpse of an alien recovered from a crash-site near Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. The so-called Alien Autopsy footage became an international sensation, captivating film experts, military analysts and government super-powers around the globe. This stranger-than-fiction documentary series from BAFTA-award winning director John Dower follows two British entrepreneurs Ray Santilli and Gary Shoefield who found themselves at the centre of an unprecedented media storm. But there was one question on everyone’s lips: was it real?
