Watchlist:

Graham studied medicine, but never qualified due to being expelled from medical school for theft. He did pass the final exams, but while being paid to do them for someone else, which he feels qualifies him to practice medicine privately. Dispensing drugs and bogus certificates for cash leads to his arrest and then involvement with a criminal family, one of whom is his patient and a police undercover operation.
