Its stage origins are sometimes too obvious but the endless succession of one-liners and absurdities define the staff of an asylum who are definitely qualified to be inmates. The philandering psychiatrist is caught trying to seduce his new secretary- who is also being pursued by the police who want to retrieve an intimate part of Winston Churchill's statue -which may have been embedded in her mother's body after a terrorist outrage. In addition, the psychiatrists' wife is pursued by a page boy who has porn pictures of her and wants a job as her husband's secretary. Enter a Government Inspector:'I represent the Department of Health, your immediate superiors in lunacy...' played with tongue-in cheek pompousness by Timothy West. The deeply embattled Psychiatrist, portrayed by the late Dinsdale Landen, persuades the various characters to cross dress to confuse the inspector- and then there is his wife- a nymphomaniac who regards her husband as a token lesbian.... Need I say more? You have to watch to appreciate this weird slant on traditional farce!
