The very first film in the ever popular Doctor series. Here we are first introduced to Simon Sparrow (Dirk Bogarde), and follow his hilarious adventures as a student doctor in St. Swithins Hospital - from naive, bumbling trainee to his first day as a fully qualified doctor. In these early, formative years he learns how to cope with the occupational hazards of being a medical student, such as fiery ward sisters, frightening surgeons, over-knowledgeable patients, the eccentricities of his own colleagues, and of course, the pretty nurses.
With a superb supporting cast including James Robertson Justice as the inimitable Sir Lancelot Spratt and the combined talents of Kenneth More and Donald Sinden as Sparrow's fellow students, it's side-splitting laughs from start to finish. Just what the Doctor ordered.
