Overview

Losing out to Dr. Bingham (Michael Medwin) in a competition for house surgeon when he offends a member of the board, young Dr. Simon Sparrow (Dirk Bogarde) finds himself going from post to post, filling in for other physicians. At one distant country post, he is taken aback when he works with a patient whose husband died after Simon treated the man years before. In another hospital, Simon examines a surprisingly mature teen and also tries courting devoted nurse Nan McPherson (Shirley Eaton).

This third outing for our now qualified doctors has largely lost it's sting. Though many of the original cast have remained, there is far too much dialogue, way too many characters and the original stalwarts - Dirk Bogarde ("Sparrow"); James Robertson Justice ("Sir Lancelot") and Muriel Pavlow ("Joy") just don't feature enough as the story offers us some ever increasingly ridiculous scenarios. We even have an elephant! It's too long too, perhaps … read the rest.
