Professor Loftus gives Duncan and Mike a severed human arm to dissect. Mike finds the job impossible as the very thought of it makes him queasy ( I cannot say I blame him ). Later, at the canteen, he is unable to look at the food ( unappetising it looks too ) much less eat it. Duncan takes him to the pub where they each imbibe three pints of strong Appleyard cider. Returning to St. Swithins legless, they interrupt men putting in a radiator, and make off with their tools. They then terrify a female patient who thinks they intend doing a 'Jack The Ripper' on her...
Anyone who has over-indulged in the joys of cider will know exactly what Duncan and Mike are going through here; that awful feeling of the world spinning round and round like a carousel, an ache in the guts, and a total inability to do even the simplest task successfully.
Peter Greene, who plays 'Young Doctor', would return in later seasons in the more familiar guise of 'The Chaplain' while Joy Stewart, cast as 'The Physiotherapist', is better remembered by fans as 'Sister Fowles'. Martin Miller a.k.a. 'Professor Pearson' - whose lecture Duncan and Mike gatecrash - was 'The Watchmaker' in the 'Its Your Funeral' episode of 'The Prisoner'.
Funniest Moment - Loftus asking Upton how he would deal with a bleeding patient. Mike stands there, frozen. Loftus counts down backwards, then says: "Time's up! The man's dead!". It was the nearest the series got to the famous 'you, what's the bleeding time?' gag.
