Quotes
Mrs. Wead: [after Doc has concluded that her daughter has an ulcer, not food poisoning] I think, I think you did actually mention the possibility that it could be.
Dr. Martin Ellingham: The possibility, yes, but not the certainty or even the probability. Do you know the difference between those words?
Becky Wead: Don't talk to my mum like that!
Dr. Martin Ellingham: I'll talk how I want. It's my surgery. The tests on your feces rule out food poisoning. Is there any part of that sentence that either of you are struggling with? Good. Take this and go away.

Not A Great Episode... Aunt Ruth is a Bore

One of the lesser episodes. Aunt Ruth, who resembles a mummy wearing a Moe wig, is being obsessed upon by a man, which is a stretch to begin with. Joan was so much better. Ruth is a ripoff of Martin's cold professional personality. And she takes a year to deliver her lines. She speaks like a RADA instructor. Anyhow... a filler episode. A shame because this show doesn't have many of those. On the plus side, the girl who wants to report Bert is cute and talented. Her story isn't centered on much, and in the old days it would have.
