- 1961:-Suave Otto Powell is chief gynaecological surgeon at a London hospital, with his brash junior Richard Truscott about to marry former nurse Jean. Otto and his anaesthetist Charlie Enderbury are called upon to perform a lucrative but illegal abortion, which shocks new nurse Angela Wilson. Angela holds this over Otto to gain his help with buying time for Maureen Mulligan, a patient being forced into a loveless marriage. At her wedding gown fitting Jean confesses to Otto's wife Elizabeth and Lily, who is married to Charlie, that she is pregnant by Richard, hence the wedding. Charlie meanwhile has an interview for the chair of anaesthesiology but comes up against rival Dr Mehta and feels he has failed when Otto, part of the interviewing panel, has to leave to help Angela. Jean miscarries on the morning of the wedding but asks Otto to keep it quiet and the ceremony goes ahead. Inspector Mulligan visits the hospital and recognizes Otto, with whom he was in the army in Cyprus some nine years earlier.—don @ minifie-1
- Nurse Angela Wilson transfers to the New London Hospital and immediately catches the roving eye of the Chief of Gynecology, Otto Powell. She resists his frequent suggestions that they meet outside of the hospital but is pressed into service to assist Powell and his anesthetist Charlie Enderbury when they go off late one night to perform an illegal abortion. Angela also takes an interest in a young patient, Maureen Mulligan, who is apparently being forced into marriage by her parents. Her father Chief Inspector Ronald Mulligan, recognizes Powell from their military service in Cyprus. Meanwhile, Richard Truscott and nurse Jean Meecher are to be married. She is pregnant and on her wedding day she miscarries but insists on going through with ceremony as she is afraid Richard will not marry her if he knows what has happened.—garykmcd
