In the finest tradition of period costume g-british, g-drama, Bramwell follows the fortunes of public health heroine Dr. Eleanor Bramwell (Jemma Redgrave) as she takes on the medical establishment in Victorian-era London. Feisty and unconventional, Eleanor fights to take health care out of the dark ages, and the stories depicted in Bramwell are based on g-british, g-documentaryed cases from the 1890s. In the second season of Bramwell, Eleanor finds her private practice failing and faces tough choices ahead in her encounters with a case of spousal abuse, pre-teen prostitution, an outbreak of cholera, and a mysterious aunt with a secret to hide. Along the way, she falls in love with her handsome and charismatic and new partner at work, Dr. Finn O'Neill (Andrew Connolly).
