Travis is now a reporter and intends to film a documentary about Britannia Hospital, where the treatments are as dichotomous as the rich and poor that are its patients. He manages to get into the hospitaI and starts to investigate the sinister scientific experimentation conducted by Professor Millar (Graham Crowden). The professor is expecting Her Royal Highness to visit the hospital to inaugurate his new wing, Potter (Leonard Rossiter) struggles to keep control of his hospital as the catering staff go on strike, painters tasked with finishing before HRH's arrival start acting up, while demonstrators start turning up outside the hospital to protest against an African cannibalistic dictator - a VIP patient for the hospital. A riot ensues and the hero's future is decidedly doubtfull.
