Observational documentary series filmed inside the consulting rooms of a busy NHS practice in south-west London. This special focuses on three memorable consultations with the elderly from the first three series. Charles faced a stark choice - either to undergo risky, major heart surgery or to resign himself to a steep decline in his health and probable death within a year or two. Susan had a nasty bruise on her face and neck after passing out in the street. Lifelong friends Catherine and Nora, who live together, needed blood tests. Each tell their stories in candid and often amusing interviews.
