View in Radio Times

A documentary by Cormac Swan and Robert Barr.
"The programme offers a glimpse behind the scenes of a general practice today, and we try to show how and why the doctor becomes that sort of man he is. He may not be like your doctor but he will be like a lot of people's doctors....."
"Our story is about the conflict in the mind of a young and rather headstrong doctor, a conflict between the pull of general practice and an urge to specialise. It covers an eventful month in his life. It is, I think, an honest and common enough story....."
Cormac Swan writes on page 37
