7/10

An awkward patient.

A patient insists on having acupuncture instead of traditional anaesthetic, Sheila is hugely sceptical, but listens to Jonathan's advice.

It has followed the trend of the last few, but this was more humorous, the operation scene was funny, and Joyce's unkindness towards Cheryl about the job was also funny.

The acupuncturist was also funny, very straight laced. The patient was a bit of an idiot. Poor Giles once again.

Daft, but pretty funny. 7/10
