When you find yourself trying to remember a show (or any works) that's on the tip of your tongue but just out of reach, come here - the collective brain of the TVTropes community can probably help. Post all the details you can remember (examples help). If you're looking for a trope, head over to Trope Finder. Have general questions about tropes? Visit Ask The Tropers!
Could it have been the movie A Zed and Two Noughts
?
Thanks for the reply but that isn't the one unfortunately.
Does anybody else have any ideas?
Just bumping this up.
Come on, you're my last hope!
Ok, one more bump... :-)
I'm not sure about this one... But maybe it's St. Elsewhere. The show ran from 1982 to 1988. I don't know if that's actually the one. Sorry if I'm not of any help :)
OK, this has been bothering me for years...
There was a TV show on British TV in the mid-80s - probably around 1985. In it, a lady was in hospital and had to have her feet amputated, but during the surgery they had to remove both legs at the knee.
When the doctor broke the news to her after the operation, she said, "Are you trying to make a monkey out of me?"
I'm pretty sure the Dr was played by Leonard Fenton (who ridiculously enough played a character called Dr Legge on a TV show called Eastenders around the same time...)
I would love the know the name of this show. Does anyone remember it at all?
