A young idealistic socially awkward doctor Stephen Daker takes a job in the health centre serving Lowlands university.
A Very Peculiar Practice is a truly subversive and hysterically funny satire of Thatcher's Britain of the 1980s.
From his first sight of two nuns rummaging in garbage bins upon his arrival, poor Dr Daker finds himself entering The Twilight Zone.
Written by Andrew Davies, the characters are truly memorable from David Troughton's manic Dr Bob Buzzard, and Jock, the alcoholic boss of the practice who dictates his cynical memoirs "The Sick University" throughout. It's a black comedy par excellence. See it, and enjoy the 1980s for all it's miserable charm.
