A newly qualified Michael applies for a top job at All Saint's Hospital but finds the interviewing panel more interested in his rugby skills.

It's time for the new intake of student nurses and the doctors are looking forward to picking their dates.

Back at St. Swithin's, Michael and Paul are squabbling over a promotion. Michael is dating a nurse called Beryl, but when he fails to show up for their date she gets very drunk.

Michael is diagnosed with mumps and ends up in Bingham's ward next to the boring Mr. Gilbert, who fancies himself an amateur doctor and is visited by his even more boring brother.
