The British National Health System is skewered in this comedy set in a rundown London hospital. The hospital is filled with wacky staff members and patients, and the film strives to get all it can from their humorous escapades. The movie also includes a satire-within-a-satire, with "Nurse Norton's Affair" providing a send-up of TV hospital soap operas.

Starring Lynn Redgrave, Eleanor Bron, Sheila Scott-Wilkinson, Donald Sinden, Jim Dale, Colin Blakely, Clive Swift, Mervyn Johns, David Hutcheson, Bert Palmer, Bob Hoskins, John Hamill, Robert Gillespie, Maureen Pryor, Jumoke Debayo, Gillian Barge, James Hazeldine, Sheila Scott-Wilkinson
