Scrubs: the cast's chemistry is still so sparky it totally carries this zinger-packed comeback

I particularly love it when fictional characters have visibly aged. There's a broken humanity that you don't get with flawless, collagen-rich skin. You sense you could talk to them about your sciatica and they'd get it. I got that feeling with the new series of Scrubs (Disney+, from Thursday 26 February), a show I once mainlined on E4. Scrubs was as comforting as tea and toast. Surprisingly malleable, too.
