Britannia Hospital - 1982 - 6/10
Savage comedy, skewering England’s National Health Service.
Young Mick (no longer a coffee salesman or popstar) is now a reporter.
Shady goings on at the hospital prove to be more sinister.
Where there are tiers of care, depending on one’s affluence.
Much of the humor is “English”, and outsiders may not understand views on the NHS.
(Disdained pre-Pandemic, adored during the height of the crisis, opinions of the NHS seem to be leveling again.)
Gallows humor serve to enhance the horrors, which border on slasher territory.
Jedi fans, keep your eye out!
