Loftus wants Duncan to accompany him to a surgical conference in Rome, and entrusts him with an important document, the only one of its kind. A jealous Paul steals the paper, hiding it in a men's magazine. Duncan panics, and begins searching the hospital. Dick takes the magazine to his room, not realising it contains the paper. Loftus is so grateful to have it back he tells Dick he can go in Duncan's place...
Remember that 'Blackadder The Third' episode in which Robbie Coltrane played Dr.Samuel Johnson? Well, this is an earlier version of the same idea, and even has a scene where the paper is accidentally thrown out. Shirley Stelfox, the original 'Rose' in 'Keeping Up Appearances', plays Loftus' secretary. Funniest moment - Paul doing a stand-up comedy routine in an operating theatre, resulting in Duncan telling him to leave: "There goes Dr.Doolittle!".
