4 Extra Debut. The Polyoaks staff try to make sense of the NHS but confusion reigns supreme. Satire with Nigel Planer and Simon Greenall.
The staff at Polyoaks continue their struggle to survive, all the while dodging the CQC, the GMC and the many other acronyms the NHS is prone to - as well as keeping their finances, computer systems and patients from collapsing.
Doctors Hugh and Roy Thornton continue to argue over who's responsible for the state of the NHS - Lansley or Hunt, Corbyn or May, Blair, Thatcher or Bevan?
Dr Jeremy struggles to understand medicine, duty of candour and fungal infections, while Staff Nurse Monica takes on the Herculean task of managing the dysfunctional Polyoaks practice - while wishing she was back in Scotland.
Nigel Planer, Simon Greenall, Polly Frame and David Westhead star as the staff of Bristol's most dysfunctional General Practice.
Written by Dr Phil Hammond and Mr David Spicer.
