'''''Get Well Soon''''' is a 1997 [[BBC]] television comedy series starring [[Matthew Cottle]] and [[Eddie Marsan]]. Lasting only 6 episodes, it was about the everyday lives of a group of patients, doctors, nurses and other staff at a tuberculosis hospital in 1947. The show, aired weekly between 2 November and 7 December 1997, was based on the meeting of [[Ray Galton]] and [[Galton and Simpson|Alan Simpson]], the writers of ''[[Steptoe and Son]]'', in a [[Tuberculosis]] [[sanatorium]] in 1947. Although given a prominent early Sunday evening slot, the series failed to capture the public's imagination and only ran for one series.
