Children's Hospital (1993)

The hospital has moved across the city to a Victorian building transformed into a state-of-the-art paediatric centre.

Cheerful Becky, who has brittle-bone disease, is in for a tricky operation to straighten her arm.

Eight weeks ago Adele underwent major surgery and was given a new liver, small bowel and pancreas. She has made astonishing progress but suddenly she suffers a setback. Teenager Russell faces heart surgery. A valve is leaking, and a baby born with a cleft lip needs treatment.

Becky, a 12-year-old who suffers from a rare disease which makes her bones brittle, finally sees the results of an operation to straighten her arm when the plaster is removed. Meanwhile the parents of 15-year-old Russell, who left hospital last week after major open-heart surgery, are concerned that all is not well with his new heart valve.

Plastic surgeon Ruth Lester tries to create a new thumb for five-year-old Sam, who was born with just four fingers on his left hand. Meanwhile, a thumb injury causes problems for 15-year-old Omah

Casualty nurse Stuart Mason finds that the case of a five-year-old girl brought in with a cut on her head has potentially serious complications.

Twelve-year-old Holly, who has had problems with her digestive system for more than half her life, undergoes tests which she hopes will finally lead to a diagnosis of her puzzling illness. Three specialist surgeons operate on an 11-month-old baby born with her skull bones already fused. And Dr Sue Morgan attends to a boy who has been injured during a game of football.

Eleven-year-old Laura has cystic fibrosis and, unusually, the disease has affected her liver. She needs a liver transplant and Laura and her parents Sheila and Gerry must attend the hospital for the new donor organ to be tested. Three-year-old football fan Luke's heart is too small and after two operations has come in for life-saving surgery pioneered by leading heart specialist Bill Brawn. Last week 11-year-old Gemma had surgery to her skull to prevent brain damage, and this week the bandages come off.

Three-year-old Luke is starting to recover from his cardiac operation to the relief of his mother. For five-year-old Chantelle, however, her chest pain may mean a return of her heart problem. Cardiac specialist Joe Giovanni, who has looked after her since she was born, must use a rare and risky technique to assess the problem. And 15-year-old Arslan arrives on a stretcher with a broken leg after a rugby accident.

Nine-year-old Andrew has a transplant to replace his damaged kidneys. But a week later the new kidney starts to fail and Andrew must go for an urgent scan. Meanwhile, 13-year-old Amy comes in for an eye-operation: one of her eyes was destroyed by cancer when she was three and the pins holding the false one in place have become infected.

The 100th episode and the last in the present series about life at Birmingham children's hospital. Two-day-old Kyle needs emergency heart surgery, but first the surgeons need to determine if he has brain damage. Meanwhile, as 14-year-old Leanne hopes to return home after seven months in hospital, eight-year-old Robert prepares for another heart operation. With the Queen coming, he has an extra incentive to get better quickly.
