The Delivery Man

Former policeman Matthew Bunting starts work as the only male midwife at Easthill Park hospital's maternity unit. He is cheery but inept, antagonizing consultant obstetrician Luke Edward and bewildering colleagues Pat, Tash and Linda, though desperate Caitlin takes a shine to him.

Matthew gets caught up in a disagreement between expectant father Richard and his wife Melanie and then discovers that Richard is also visiting his pregnant bit on the side. Matthew's attempts to explain matters to the other midwives cause confusion.

Matthew is not happy that the inept Ian is now a hospital security guard and things get worse when a pregnant prisoner is admitted. Then, a police inspector wants Matthew to obtain important information from her.

Reality TV personality Comfort Evans comes to the ward, requesting anonymity, but Tash leaks her presence online and paparazzi besiege the hospital. Comfort's husband, footballer Jamie Gordon, arrives to see her, turning female heads.

Matthew finds an abandoned baby but is anxious not to tell the authorities and tasks the other midwives to help keep it secret until Ian locates the mother. Meanwhile Lisa is pestered by an inquisitive schoolgirl and Matthew meets a mother who is prone to sleep-walking.

After some drugs are stolen, the police are called and one of the officers turns out to be Jess, Matthew's former girlfriend. The thief is exposed as an unwitting dupe whilst Caitlin's date with Luke Edward does not go smoothly.
