Happy to be put in my colonial place.

However, to this, quite apossibly in a minority non-Brit, the NHS sequence was naff - and political as hell, worthy (if that's the right word) of the worst of NuLabour, a poor imitation of which we are now enduring out in the colonies.
No "putting in place" intended. The sequence was indeed naff but the organisation it was meant to represent and the idea behind it's foundation more than justified it's inclusion.

Let's not forget, for those who object to a bit of politics, that it was a political idea (ideology if you prefer) that brought it to life in the first place. There are not many people around now who remember how it was before 1947 to make comparisons. I certainly don't, even though I probably qualify as a "grumpy old man".
