Three hypochondriacs Roy Figgis, Norman Binns and Archie Glover are put together in same ward of NHS hospital, where they try hard to keep occupied while the doctors can figure out what is wrong with them.
One of the slow-paced sitcoms produced in United Kingdom and opposite to what people may think slow-paced doesn’t mean boring. Figgis character keeps everyone busy and producing comical situations. Even the fact that almost all of the scenes take place in same ward in hospital the series keeps a quite good level. Of course it can’t be compared to such titles as Fawlty Towers or Blackadder, but nevertheless it is a good British comedy.
