In the eighth episode of season one of Green Wing, titled "Slave Auction," tensions run high as the hospital staff prepares for a charity fundraiser. The event, a slave auction, requires employees to offer their services to the highest bidder in order to raise money for an orphanage in Romania.
As the auction gets underway, the competition heats up among the staff. Dr. Caroline Todd (Tamsin Greig) finds herself the subject of bidding wars between Dr. Macartney (Julian Rhind-Tutt) and Dr. Statham (Mark Heap), both vying for her as their "slave" for the day. Meanwhile, Dr. Boyce (Oliver Chris) basks in the attention of the female bidders, until a surprise twist leaves him scrambling to find a way out of his predicament.
Throughout the episode, the hijinks and antics of the hospital staff continue to spiral out of control, culminating in a chaotic and uproarious finale. Despite the lighthearted tone and humorous moments, however, "Slave Auction" also touches on important issues surrounding charity and the exploitation of others – themes that are explored throughout the series as a whole.
As with all episodes of Green Wing, "Slave Auction" showcases the show's unique and quirky sense of humor, as well as its tendency to embrace the absurd and surreal.
