Let Them Eat Cake
Prismark1029 February 2020
This week Glover reads Mayfair magazine.

Norman has had more than enough with the horrible hospital food. With urging from Figgis the patients go on a hunger strike.

However Glover and Norman's resolve weaken due to starvation and some nice dessert bought to them.

Figgis remains determined not to back down and keep everyone hungry. Of course he has been slyly eating some pie.

Dr Thorpe is upset because Clegg the cook also goes on strike in protest of the patients behaviour.

I am not sure why this episode chose to make Figgis look two faced. Maybe the writer wanted to make a point about striking workers of that era. The episode also has Figgis and Glover arguing over class differences but Figgis comes over as a hypocrite at the end.
