Who would have thought? A drama (with a touch of humor) set in a medical clinic at a university that draws you in, and then some.
I'm a big fan of A Very Peculiar Practice and it's more than the working lives of the medical staff at the university clinic. The episode explores the corporatization of universities, and it seems Andrew Davies was right on the mark in foreseeing this. Margaret Thatcher was elected back in 1979, so Andrew had his finger on the pulse for sure.
Peter "Dr Who" Davison stars as a more traditional doctor, Dr Stephen Daker, who is bright-eyed and joins a university medical practice where he is immersed in university politics.
Takashi Kawahara makes his first appearance as Chen Sung Yau, who befriends Stephen. Sarah Lam also guest stars.
