Paddy kicks up a fuss when Carole pricks her finger on a needle, she demands that all needles are sterilised, and that a fully trained first aider be on hand at all times, Fenner goes one step further, and brings in Doctor Blake.
It's very funny to see a man sexualised in this day and age, it's the 1960's, the era of the dolly bird, the semi clad secretary, so it's nice to see the shoe on the other boot for a change.
Noel Trevarthen definitely fitted the bill as the dishy Doctor, he played the part with a straight bat, he didn't go over the top or milk it, a good performance.
We've seen Carole playing up to the fellas before, the best scene had to be Paddy's efforts to woo The Doctor, no wonder he needed his pills.
Esma Canon as always is a joy to watch, what a star she was.
8/10.
