Casualty

Series 27 - 2. Cuckoo's Nest

Radio Times
Review by:
Jane Rackham

For a change, the focus is on the mysterious, not the medical. First, Jeff and Tamzin are called out to a house where a crying baby has been left all on its own. Where is its mother? Then a teenage boy has a fight with an unknown intruder, who weirdly knows the boy’s name. Lastly, a lap dancer collapses – although with no signs of drug abuse (the immediate suspicion), the doctors can’t work out why.

Two of the cases are connected – it’s not hard to work it out, but it gives Zoe a headache. That and the quantity of booze she drank the night before. “Pain is nature’s way of saying don’t do that,” says Charlie sagely. Now there’s a diagnosis.
