Storyline :Daniel is rushed to see a bride to be... when she suffers from a asthma attack before her wedding. Jimmie keeps his feelings to himself when he meets a father who is coping hard.

Channel/duration: BBC 1, - 30Min's



Propps theory applied:

Hero: Dr Daniel/Dr jimmi
Helper:receptionist
Villain: Brides father
Father:
Princess : the bride


Todorovs theory applied:
Todorovs theory was based on 5 transformations that he believed took place in a drama/film
these 5 can be recognised as: equilibrium, disequilibrium, awareness of problem, repairing the problem and finally returning back to some normality.
