The St.Swithins' indoor swimming pool is scheduled to be demolished shortly, so that a new ward can be built, to be named after Loftus.
A pretty young doctor named Diana organises a protest, and ropes in Dick and Duncan, the latter being sweet on her. Bingham, of course, sides with Loftus.
After promising to keep the pool open, Loftus arranges for it to be demolished early the next day. Realising they have been tricked, Duncan and the others lay in front of the pool, blocking the path of the bulldozer. Bingham seizes the controls and, laughing maniacally, prepares to do battle...
David Askey stepped out from behind the camera to pen this episode, an enjoyable enough romp which provided an early television role for Jan Francis, later to star in 'Secret Army' and 'Just Good Friends'.
Arthur English is seen briefly as a hospital porter.
Funniest moment - Loftus accidentally demolishing his own car!
