The story

A new wing at Britannia Hospital is to be opened, and the Queen is due to arrive. The administrator of the hospital, Potter, is confronted with demonstrators protesting against an African dictator who is a VIP patient, striking ancillary workers (opposed to the exotic gastronomic demands of the hospital's private patients) and a less-than-cooperative Professor Millar , the head of the new wing. Rather than cancel the royal visit, Potter decides to go out and reason with the protestors.
