As Daniel Granger continues to investigate the dodgy goings-on at the university, can he prevent a tragic turn of events on Doctors?

Daniel Granger (played by Matthew Chambers) is determined to get to the bottom of the dodgy dealings going on at the university on Doctors (1:45pm on BBC One, see our TV Guide for full listings).

For the past few weeks, Daniel has clashed with Matthew Portman (Jason Thorpe), the pro-vice chancellor, over the hunger strike protest happening on campus.

But all along, Matthew has been more concerned about a lucrative deal he has in place with a company called Secuso.

Daniel's surgery colleague, Jimmi Clay (Adrian Lewis Morgan) has discovered that Matthew is being bribed by Secuso to go through with the deal.

But since Jimmi must respect patient-doctor confidentiality, he cannot tell Daniel what is really going on!

Meanwhile, Matthew is on his way to sign the deal with Secuso.

But there's BIG drama when student protestors surround his car.

Afraid for his safety, Matthew starts having an asthma attack...

Daniel arrives on campus in time to see what's going on.

But Matthew is trapped in his car and struggling to use his asthma inhaler...

Will Daniel be able to save Matthew's life in time?
