Moving Doctors Waring and Stuart-Clark's capers
on-board was a counterproductive move, preventing them from moving out and
about and interacting with the usual range of patients and colleagues. And how
convenient that Professor Lomas' identical brother should turn out to be the
Captain! It is fun to hear a 'Sailor's Hornpipe' arrangement of the Doctor
theme, though, and the men look smart in their white uniforms.
This week, Dr Waring ends up seeing three women simultaneously over one night - his jealous nurse girlfriend (Elizabeth Counsell), a rich young American passenger (Sandra Dickinson) and her blowsy mother (Patricia Hamilton). Nothing is especially funny, but it is fast-moving and skillfully performed and orchestrated, Robin Nedwell continually zipping between two bars, the mother's cabin, a discotheque and the bridge. The ship's disco is the most intriguing of these locations, with the dance floor behind bars and a clientele of unengaged non-speaking extras dancing to 'Mama Weer All Crazee Now' and 'Roll Away The Stone'.
