In this hilarious comedy set in a National Health Service hospital, confused staff resist the temptation to have nervous breakdowns, while neurotic, hypochondriac patients panic over bogus rumors and ridiculous speculations.
Wearing faded pajamas and confined to a hospital ward, the three paranoiacs, Archie Glover (Peter Bowles), Roy Figgis (James Bolam) and Norman Binns (Christopher Strauli) are surrounded by inevitable boredom. Feuding over who gets the "daffodil view" from the hospital window, the three conveniently have each other's operations and fight over "girlie" magazines.
As Archie, Roy and Norman re-write major chapters in medical history, you'll never look at hospitals the same way again!
