Anderson despised Richard Attenborough's simple, warm-hearted, liberal movies. He particularly loathed the 'nursery history' of 'Gandhi', whose international success, together with Puttnam's 'Chariots of Fire', had sparked the umpteenth 'revival' of the UK industry. (Attenborough was another contributor to this short TV series.) While big budgets were being expended on 'Revolution' and 'Honky Tonk Freeway', all Anderson could manage to produce was the New England chamber piece, 'The Whales of August'. His spasmodically funny but ponderous and bilious satire, 'Britannia Hospital', had lain an egg in 1982, seeming out of sorts with the spirit of Thatcher's Britain basking in the Falklands War. Anderson had become a curmudgeonly naysayer, jeering from the sidelines. He would never make another feature film on his home turf.

I tried, but the only impact was that it made my anal sphincter twitch. Perhaps I’m missing the point and that is the desired emotional response.

Bodkin Adams was an austere Ulster Protestant with no dependents. He drove a Rolls but said this was bc he needed a totally reliable car for house calls on winter nights. He was a reckless over-prescriber, but that may have reflected compassion or carelessness; nothing in his background or behaviour suggested greed or psychosis- rather bumbling vagueness. Bodkin Adams had a tremendously affable bedside manner, and could tickle up promises of legacies without giving offence. By the time of his arrest he may have been the richest general practitioner in England. He was well liked by all classes in Eastbourne, and even while he was struck off some patients continued to consult him. He was so garrulous that defence counsel would not let him justify his actions at his trial for fear that he would talk himself into a death sentence. They told him he need say only two words: 'Not guilty.' But when asked how he pled, he turned to the judge and said 'I am not guilty, my lord.'

Thank you for uploading this, I have been wanting to see it again for nearly 40 years. I was a member of the film crew and have very happy memories of the whole job. A lot of it was shot at the old ATV studios in Borehamwood, being the first project after the BBC bought the place, and about a year before Eastenders moved in. All the office interiors, foyer etc are in Neptune House,the studio office block that subsequently became Holby City Hospital some 15 years later. Even from a VHS(?) copy it still looks and sounds good, a credit to my very talented former colleagues of BBC film department at Ealing studios,so many of whom have now sadly passed on. Oh and in addition to a great supporting cast we got to work with Jenny Agutter ❤

Thanks for your work! I've been watching tons of plays/dramas from the bbc over the last few years and am always impressed with the camera work and framing. I prefer filmed plays due to the long scenes that allow movement by the actors to re-frame without editing. I find, when done well, this to be very satisfying. The Hothouse (1980 Harold Pinter writer/director) is one filmed play that uses this technique often that comes to mind.

Update! Finished the book a couple of days ago and now watched the TV version. Adapted by Mr Waterhouse from his novel but I would say more 'loosely based' on it really as there are quite lot of plot changes. But in 80 minutes a lot of the book has to cut out! Both the book and the TV programme are great. Again thank you so much for posting. Also thinking of links etc. Geoffrey Bayldon who played a pivotal role here also played the Crowman in 1970s Worzel Gummige, another Waterhouse adaption a few years earlier.
