Episode 044 - Doctor In The House (1954)

Welcome to Reel Britannia-a very British podcast about very British films....with the occasional hint of professionalism. Join Scott and Tony for their review of Doctor In The House, the first in the classic series of British Comedies from 1954 starring Dirk Bogarde. Simon Sparrow (Dirk Bogarde) begins medical school in London at St. Swithin's Hospital, and moves into an apartment with roommates Richard Grimsdyke (Kenneth More), Tony Benskin (Donald Sinden) and Taffy Evans (Donald Houston), a huge fan of rugby. A series of challenges and shenanigans takes place during their next five years at medical school, including unsuccessful dates with women and run-ins with a tough-as-nails chief surgeon, Sir Lancelot Spratt (James Robertson Justice).
