Doctor at Large is a 1957 film and the third of the Doctor... Series. It stars Dirk Bogarde, Muriel Pavlow, Donald Sinden, James Robertson Justice, Shirley Eaton, Derek Farr, and Michael Medwin.Once more at St. Swithin's (with no mention of the events of the previous film), Dr. Simon Sparrow (Bogarde) insults Sir Charles Hopcroft (Ernest Jay), one of the St. Swithin's governors. As this happens, his old friends Tony Benskin (Sinden) and Joy Gibson (Pavlow) both fail their medical exams, leaving all three rather glum.Feeling he needs a change after losing the job of Senior House Surgeon to Dr. Charlie Bingham (Medwin) after his prior incident with Sir Charles and a disastrous night with Nurse Nan McPherson (Eaton) at the Judges Arms boarding house - run by Mrs. Digby (Judith Furse), an old battleaxe - Dr. Sparrow takes a job at a general practice under Dr. Hatchet (Lionel Jeffries), although he is forced to deal with the flirty behaviour of Jasmine (Dilys Laye), Dr. Hatchet's wife.As this happens, Tony travels to Ireland and buys a medical degree, leading to a post in Wiltshire as Lady Howkins' (Athene Seyler) private physician, while he manages to land Dr. Sparrow a job at the Harley Street practice of Dr. Erasmus Potter-Shine (Farr), where the patients are all either dotty aristocrats like the Duke of Skye and Lewes (A. E. Matthews) or neurotic society women like Kitty (Barbara Murray).After some time working with Dr. Farquarson (George Relph) in the country, Dr. Sparrow joins Dr. Benskin and Joy for a brief holiday in France after the passing of Lady Howkins, where they save Sir Charles from an embarrassing incident.Dr. Sparrow once more returns to St. Swithin's, while Dr. Benskin gets a job as personal physician to the Maharajah of Branda (Martin Benson). It turns out Dr. Sparrow's return has come just at the right time, as he is able to witness Dr. Bingham humiliate himself owing to the delivery of several elephants to the hospital (with a little help from Joy) and after chewing out Sir Lancelot Spratt (Justice), finally becoming a surgeon. | |

Spoonerism: Joy calls a circus asking to send all they've got on elephants to St. Swithin's but gets sent all the elephants they've got (although it's implied that Joy had the mistake made intentionally to undermine Dr. Bingham): | |

Shout-Out | |
| Doctor at Large / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Sir Lancelot discusses the Boy Scouts with Tony. The Judges Arms reminds Nurse McPherson of the Mary Celeste. When discussing doctors who have sinned, Dr. Hatchet brings up Thomas Neill Cream, Palmer the Poisoner and Dr. Crippen. | |

Something We Forgot: When Dr. Sparrow is about to see to the Maharajah of Branda, he is interrupted by Kitty, who is in a tizzy looking for Dr. Potter-Shine. Dr. Sparrow ends up taking her on a date and forgets about the Maharajah until she says the word "oriental". | |

Right in Front of Me: Dr. Sparrow chews out Sir Charles Hopcroft in front of everyone in the outpatients department believing that he was trying to jump the queue, not realising that he is one of St. Swithin's governors. As a result, he loses the Senior House Surgeon role he was hoping for to Dr. Bingham. | |
