A Gentle pace of life, until Harper arrives........ then strictness!!

This series is brilliant, I like Ken Hopkirk, his doing thing differently. I also think that Mr Rose is a brilliant surgeon and he saves lots of lives, he seems to know an awful lot about our bodies. I also like nurse Meryll and I like Lisa Hopkirk. my favourite boss is Mr Middledicth he seems alright to work for, I cannot stand that harper chap, he seems too strict and he always makes sure that everybody obeys the stupid rules! remember that vending machine? I thought that the tea was awful, I could taste it even though I was in my bedroom watching the telly, I had a mug of coffee and it tasted better than out of a machine! I prefer Endna 's trolley as Ken put it! This is now my second television review I also like Matron and especially Sister Bridget and Dr Omerod I would like to register to be on his panel! or on his wives if he was not available! I could tell sister Bridget about my problems anytime over a cup pa!!!
