star Peter Davison will play a very different kind of doctor in the upcoming premiere of medical sitcom Bloods, which is headed back to Sky Comedy and NOW for its second season.<\/p>\n<p>The series follows tough-acting Maleek (Samson Kayo) and overly friendly divorcee Wendy (Jane Horrocks), who form an unlikely friendship when they start working together as paramedics in the ambulance service.<\/p>\n<p>The show depicts the ups and downs of their relationship as they are called out to help on a variety of cases, including one where they get a much-needed assist from a retired surgeon played by fan favourite Davison.<\/p> <p>Details are scarce on exactly what he\u2019ll get up to in the episode, but the first-look image released by Sky reveals he\u2019s borrowed a fashion choice from the Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) by donning a brightly coloured scarf.<\/p>\n<p>The cameo kicks off an exciting sophomore run for Bloods, in which Maleek and Wendy\u2019s friendship will be tested when she accuses him of drinking on the job.<\/p>\n<p>The regular Bloods cast is also back for these latest episodes, including Lucy Punch (<a
