Fans were on the edge of their seats after a patient at the hospital threatened Greg (Neil Morrissey) and the rest of the staff with a knife after his wife died in their care following a car accident.

One person took to Twitter, writing: "It's been extremely funny and stressful tonight. Brilliant episode and balance," while another added: "I was so scared one of the team was going to die, phew."
