Manners McDade's Ben Foster Scores Series Two Of ITV's 'The Good Karma Hospital'

The Good Karma Hospital is back for a second series, set in tropical southern India.

It tells the story of junior doctor Ruby Walker (Amrita Acharia), who arrives looking for a job and a distraction from her heartbreak.

She anticipates the sunshine, the palm trees and picture-perfect beaches. She's even prepared for the sacred cows, the tuk-tuks, and the Delhi belly that everyone warned her about.

What she doesn't expect are the realities of work, life and even love at an under-resourced and over-worked cottage hospital.

Ben Foster returns for the second series, once again providing a beautiful string-led score (also featuring authentic Indian instruments).

Ben is best known for his scores for dramas Happy Valley, Our Girl and Torchwood, as well as ITV's recent reboot of Thunderbirds Are Go! with his brother Nick, for which they received a BAFTA nomination for Best Original Music.

The Good Karma Hospital starts this Sunday at 9pm on ITV. You can listen to an extract from its score here.
