Private Notes
Things don't look good for Roy (Matthew Cottle) as his mother (Anita Dobson) dumps him at the sanatorium. With a combination of broad laughs and some downright bizarre characters this is not simple, nostalgic comedy, despite its 1947 setting. This scene-setter parades a deranged RAF officer, a mad vicar and a friendly widow, all providing fertile ground for humour to back up the central characters - two young men on the make.
As a terrible winter takes hold, the patients are told to keep their windows open.
Roy and Brian, are forced to share a cubicle with the irritating Norman Tucker.
Roy's mother tries to lure him away from Mrs Howell.
DrRuggles allows Brian and Tuckerto attend a whist drive, but Roy is only well enough to spectate.
Bernard Walpole is so in love with Ivy Osborne that he plans to get rid of his wife.
