![]() Black comedy set in student medical centre of fictional English university ("Lowlands") with 2 series each of 7 eps filmed at Birmingham University(S1 1986, S2 1988). Later had an unexpected one-off sequel A Very Polish Practice. Some merciless satire, several very surreal running jokes (eg the thieving nuns) and some excellent characters and acting - highly recommended, but some themes look fairly dated now. -- Last edit: 2014-01-01 21:07:22 |

Bob Buzzard's models and pictures (continued). In S2 he has two wall pictures (which look to me like late 20s Bentley 3-litre and RR Silver Ghost) and 3 big models on his desk - red Model T, a green veteran something, and a glossy black Jag E-Type FHC. These keep appearing, disappearing and reappearing between episodes. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
