The hospital organises a charity slave auction in a comedy starring Tamsin Greig. During the event, Mac delivers two surprise announcements, and Martin decides that his best strategy to win Caroline’s affection is to adopt the role of the bad guy.

“Slave Auction” is a programme presented as an episode‑style comedy. It is billed simply as a comedic piece, positioned as a self‑contained story that can be enjoyed in a single viewing slot. The format is listed as a programme rather than a full series, indicating a concise narrative focus. The plot centres on a hospital that organises a charity event styled as a slave auction. During the event, a character called Mac steps forward to deliver two unexpected announcements, which catch both staff and donors off guard and add a layer of chaotic humour to the proceedings. Meanwhile, Martin, hoping to impress Caroline, decides that his best strategy is to adopt a deliberately antagonistic persona, believing the “bad‑guy” role will win her favour. The episode leans heavily on humour, using the absurdity of a hospital‑based charity auction and the characters’ unconventional tactics to generate laughs. The humour arises from the juxtaposition of medical seriousness with the ludicrous premise of a slave‑style fundraiser, and the contrast between the serious backdrop of a medical institution and the farcical auction underscores the comedic intent. Overall, the piece presents a light‑hearted narrative where surprise revelations and misguided romantic schemes drive the action. The conclusion ties up the announcements and Martin’s plan in a tidy, comedic wrap‑up, delivering a concise, entertaining storyline within the limited runtime of an episode.
