‘The Crimson Field’ episode 3 preview: Thomas and Kitty grow closer
In watching Sunday night’s new episode of “The Crimson Field” on BBC, there was one instant reaction to have to the story: Isn’t this depressing? This was a show that doesn’t really let the light of hope in very often, even if the story eventually brought us a sense of acceptance when a woman came to hope with her husband losing his legs in battle.
So where does the story go from here into next week? Well first of all, we are pleased to report that there will at least be something to smile about in the romantic department. Somebody’s going to actually have some love in their lives! It’s about time, isn’t it? It may not be a relationship just yet, but you will see some flirtation.
OF course, there are also still patient-of-the-week plots that feature tough decisions, and the reality of what happens to these people on the lines. Take a look at the official synopsis below:
“Thomas wrestles with a growing attraction to Kitty, and while he may not be making much headway with her, he is having more success on the wards with a pioneering wound irrigation system. His test subject is doing well but a fellow surgeon of the old school, Major Yelland, is dismissive of Thomas’s techniques and seems determined to bully him. Will Miles be able to placate his increasingly riled friend?
“Elsewhere, a terrified patient faces court martial. There is little anyone can do and yet his presence unnerves the staff and patients, a constant reminder of the perils of overstepping the rules. This warning is particularly pertinent for some, as a proud Irish NCO faces rebellion from his young protege and Joan unearths a dark secret from one of her patients.”
The promo at the end of the episode tonight gave us some insight into the court martial in particular, with the nature of the crime being cowardice. If that’s not a symbol of the hard times that existed during the First World War, we don’t know what is.
