Boyce (Green Wing) - History

History

Boyce is a medical student at East Hampton Hospital. He is currently being trained as a doctor by the more senior members, including Dr. Alan Statham.

Boyce is often seen wearing a bone around his neck (actually a pen designed to look like a bone and given away to medical staff by pharmaceutical companies). Boyce often plays practical jokes on Dr. Alan Statham.

His practical jokes have ranged from simple stupid remarks such as, "I need to x-ray my penis. I think I dislocated it", all the way up to full scale taunts that everyone can see. The biggest one was a 30-foot (9.1 m) high holographic image of Alan having anal sex with another man, one of the many homosexual remarks that Boyce has made. He also once bought him in a charity slave auction for 30p, although he did take Alan out for a (somewhat awkward) meal and ended up getting Alan drunk, and them waking up in bed together.

In private life, he spends most of his time with his best friend, junior doctor Dr. Martin Dear and is in a relationship with Kim Alabaster from human resources. Contrary to the prevailing advice of his chosen profession, he also smokes, normally with Kim's fellow co-worker Naughty Rachel.

Previously a medical student, in series 2, episode 7, he was made a house officer and invited everyone (including Alan) out to The Spice of Bengal for a celebratory meal.

In the last episode of series 2, he learns of the stuffed heron incident with Alan and Joanna, and helps them manage to escape. He had also grown a moustache, although it is possible it was a fake one to disguise himself from the police.

Whilst Alan is gone, he begins to miss him. This partly due to his replacement being even more horrible than Alan. Boyce is also the last person in the hospital contacted by Alan, who makes a phone call to him.

Boyce claims that the best person he was compared to was Jude Law and the worst was Brigitte Nielsen. In one deleted scene, Boyce admitted that he once shaved a female teacher.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon than the Word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind.
    Thomas Paine (1737–1809)

    It is true that this man was nothing but an elemental force in motion, directed and rendered more effective by extreme cunning and by a relentless tactical clairvoyance .... Hitler was history in its purest form.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    There is nothing truer than myth: history, in its attempt to “realize” myth, distorts it, stops halfway; when history claims to have “succeeded” this is nothing but humbug and mystification. Everything we dream is “realizable.” Reality does not have to be: it is simply what it is.
    Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
