BBC1’s “Screen One” project produces yet another full-length television movie. A Very Polish Practice is a sequel to the popular “a very peculiar practice”, a story about four doctors and their escapades as their practice staggers from disaster to disaster. The sequal is set in Poland, and has some new characters, including a shady crime boss (Alfred Molina in a lovely suit!).

The plot centers around an overworked an insecure English migrant doctor Stephen Daker (Peter Davison) who works at a hideosly underfunded hospital, where the post-operative patients are treated with nothing stronger than paracetamol due to chronic underfunding. Stephen is married to the beautiful Greta, and is horrified to discover her past as the shady crime boss's lover. He is further disquieted to learn that the crime boss wants Greta to leave Poland with him...
