    Dull spin-off

    This is an early attempt to extract cinematic mileage out of a TV drama. Obviously made on a low budget. It shows that soaps haven't changed much over the years. Hyde White is a stubborn crusty old surgeon. Michael Craig is a progressive young registrar. Really needs the use of a daffodil somewhere.

    "Sorry darling, a pulmonary oedema"

    A breezy spin-off of the popular TV series with the regular cast augmented by Michael Craig and Wilfred Hyde White. Tragedy is covered by the death of a patient, comedy by Joan Sims as a mother expecting quads and Glyn Owen in drag; while it comes close to a cuss word at one point when the latter says "Oh sh-!"
