    Dull spin-off
    This is an early attempt to extract cinematic mileage out of a TV drama. Obviously made on a low budget. It shows that soaps haven't changed much over the years. Hyde White is a stubborn crusty old surgeon. Michael Craig is a progressive young registrar. Really needs the use of a daffodil somewhere.
