The General was a BBC fly-on-the-wall Television series hosted by Yvette Fielding, Chris Serle and Heather Mills. Based at Southampton General Hospital, the programme tracked the progress of selected patients, including outpatients, at the hospital. The series was broadcast every day on BBC One, in a daytime slot. 61 episodes of the programme were aired in total; 58 of them in 1998 (from April to June), and the other three in 2002.

The programme was subsequently replaced by City Hospital, which used exactly the same format but was based at Guy's and St Thomas' hospitals in London.
