Synopsis

A Very Peculiar Practice is a black comedy with surreal elements. It concerned an idealistic young doctor, Stephen Daker, taking up a post as a member of a university medical centre. The centre is staffed by a group of misfits including the bisexual Rose Marie, self-absorbed Bob Buzzard, and decrepit Scot, Jock McCannon who heads the team in the first series.
