The dysfunctional GP surgery is threatened with investigation for not being average.

The most dysfunctional GP surgery in the West Country is under threat for not being average. Starring Nigel Planer. From 2017.

It's a red letter day for the Polyoaks surgery. 

Against all the odds, Practice Manager Monica seems actually to have balanced the books. Jeremy is seeing private patients and is building up a nice little client list, Roy has seen the light and is threatening to abandon drugs completely and Hugh is strangely pleased to have been assessed as officially average by the Care Quality Commission. 

What can possibly go wrong? And how soon?

The beleaguered clinic carries on indomitably in its struggle against targets, government initiatives and patients. 

Nigel Planer, Simon Greenall and David Westhead star as the staff of Bristol's most dysfunctional General Practice.

Dr. Phil Hammond and David Spicer continue painting their satirical portrait of a thoroughly modern health service.
