''Getting On'' (2009-2012) is a [[BritCom British sitcom]] set in a hospital ward a million miles away from [[Series/{{House}} Princeton General]]. Situated at the wrong end of the SlidingScaleOfShinyVersusGritty, the series is centred on a general ward and the unglamorous lives of its long-suffering staff. The series was written by its three leads: Jo Brand as Nurse [[NamedAfterSomebodyFamous Kim Wilde]], Creator/JoannaScanlan as Sister Den Flixter, and Vicki Pepperdine as Dr Pippa Moore. The show is intended to be a [[SlidingScaleOfRealisticVersusFantastic realistic]] portrayal of hospital life with naturalistic dialogue and [[{{Jittercam}} shaky camera movements]]. Its director Peter Capaldi may have learned a few tricks from his time working with Creator/ArmandoIannucci on ''Series/TheThickOfIt''.

** Both Den and the usually affable DeadpanSnarker indulge in this when [[spoiler:Dr Moore not only fails to receive a higher position but it seems as though her existing job is at risk.]] After causing trouble on the ward, they follow up by locking her in the office.
