Synopsis:	The (fictional) teaching hospital, St Swithin's, is the location of this medical sitcom. The action follows junior doctor Michael Upton, an earnest type but easily led astray by his colleagues, the laddish Waring and Collier and the smooth wastrel Stuart-Clark. The recurring theme of this series (and indeed most of the succeeding series) was the clash between the keen interns and their intimidating superior Professor Loftus, a fearsome man.
BCG Review:	With a fair amount of nurse-chasing, nudge-nudge innuendo and bedpan humour thrown in this sitcom is very much in the Carry On style of humour. The cast was strong, though, and lesser-known parts were played by, among others, David Jason, James Beck and Susan George.
