Why it is worth your time

A hospital comedy in which almost no medicine happens, with speeded-up and slowed-down scenes between sketches. Odd, silly and inventive.

Watching it the official way

Older programmes move between broadcasters, streaming services and DVD releases as rights are sold and resold. Paying the rights holder keeps archives alive and pays the people who made them.

The BritCast TV library changes with sources and rights, so we never promise a title before checking. Ask us and we will look, or try a day free and search for yourself.
