Monroe (TV series)
''Monroe'' is a British medical drama television series created and written by Peter Bowker and produced by Mammoth Screen for the ITV network. The series follows a neurosurgeon named Gabriel Monroe, played by James Nesbitt. The six-part series was commissioned by ITV as one of a number of replacements for its long-running police drama series ''The Bill'', which was cancelled in 2010. Filming on ''Monroe'' began in Leeds in September 2010, with production based in the old Leeds Girls' High School in Headingley. The first episode was broadcast on ITV on 10 March 2011 to strong ratings. A second series followed in 2012. On 14 November 2012, it was announced that ITV had cancelled Monroe due to low viewing figures.〔()〕

Screenwriter Peter Bowker announced to the trade magazine ''Broadcast'' in July 2009 that he was developing a "big medical drama" for ITV.〔McMahon, Kate (16 July 2009). "(Occupation writer pens BBC1 Morecambe and Wise biopic )". Broadcastnow.co.uk (Emap Media). Retrieved on 8 August 2009.〕 Bowker had worked on medical dramas early in his career, including ''Casualty'' and ''Medics''.〔 ITV's director of drama Laura Mackie told ''The Stage'' that the series would be "grown-up" and would be based around a single character, like ITV's ''Doc Martin''. Mackie believed that other broadcasters were reluctant to create series with one lead character—instead making ensemble shows like ''Casualty'' and ''Holby City''—so Bowker's series would not overlap with anything already being screened.〔Hemley, Matthew (29 October 2009).

Bowker told the Media Guardian that he had been inspired to create a series about a neurologist after his four-year-old daughter was diagnosed with a benign brain tumour. He wanted the drama of ''Monroe'' to be similar to the American medical series ''House''; "It may be foolish to compare the two but with neurologists, as with House, there is this very intense 10 days when you work with them on a case and then you say goodbye – it is really quite fascinating and will hopefully make great drama."〔Deans, Jason (30 March 2010). "(ITV lines up medical series for Bill slot )". MediaGuardian.co.uk (Guardian News & Media). Retrieved on 8 May 2010.〕 Independent production company Mammoth Screen developed the series with Bowker, having previously worked with him on his ''Wuthering Heights'' adaptation. The drama entered the pre-production stage in March 2010, when Laura Mackie and ITV's director of television Peter Fincham commissioned it for the network. Formal greenlighting was expected to happen in the first week of April 2010.〔〔Campbell, Lisa (30 March 2010). "(ITV to replace The Bill with medical series )". Broadcastnow.co.uk (Emap Media).

Film director Paul McGuigan signed on as lead director of ''Monroe''. McGuigan researched the nature of the series by meeting with neurosurgeons and watching a brain operation being performed. Steve Lawes, with whom McGuigan worked on his other television series, ''Sherlock'', was originally announced as the director of photography.〔"(Steve Lawes )". United Agents. Retrieved on 16 September 2010.〕 McGuigan directed the first three episodes of the series, and David Moore directed the last three.〔 The cast and crew met for a script read-through the week before filming began and the principal cast attended a "boot camp" at Leeds General Infirmary.〔
