A Young Doctor's Notebook is a British dark comedy television programme based on the semi-autobiographical short stories of the same name by Mikhail Bulgakov. The 1925–1926 short stories were inspired by Bulgakov's experiences as a newly graduated young doctor in 1916–18. Jon Hamm and Daniel Radcliffe portray the show's main character (a doctor at the fictional Muryevo Hospital in Russia at different ages). The first series was broadcast between 6 December and 27 December 2012 on Sky Arts 1, and a second (and final) series aired from 21 November to 12 December 2013. The first series takes place in the year 1917 during the Russian Revolution, and the second series takes place in the following year during the Russian Civil War.
