A “Naked Gun” type comedy from Britain, this one-off special was made specifically for the launch of Channel 5 in 1997, and was screened on the station’s opening night. It deals with a young neurosurgeon trying to save a young man while dealing with a lusting co-worker, a money-obsessed administrator, the Elephant Man and the operation. He must hurry to meet his fiancée so they can start a new life in Australia. It’s a twisted tale featuring several British celebrities such as Claire Raynor, Clive Anderson and Emma Thompson as The Elephant Woman. |
