The majority of the plots centre around medical emergencies and the moral dilemmas created or exposed by the emergencies. Typically there are several ongoing crises, each being confronted by one or more staff members. The show tends to avoid political topics on the whole although the Vietnam War was touched upon in one episode, the conflict between progressive and conservative social ideals is central to the show and these issues will be addressed in greater deatil when the new black Doctor Joan Makori joins The Royal in Season 5. The ethical challenges and social changes faced by the hospital staff and their patients mirror those faced by the world in the 1960s. There is one on-going and as yet unsolved mystery in The Royal: Matron's real name. She has never used a name throughout the series, nor has she ever been referred to by one. All that is known is that her nickname during the Second World War, when she served as a nurse, was "Toffee". DID YOU KNOW : The telephone number for The Royal is Elsinby 3323 and there's no Tuesday Evening Surgery. DID YOU KNOW : The code to the safe in Mr. Middleditch's Office (which is now under the command of Adam Carnegie) is 1886 which is the same year The Royal was founded!
