I don't really think I want to watch anything that is a paean of praise to it, having to live with Nye Bevan's creation.

If you watched Call the Midwife, which is set with the 1950s, you would see it's a paean to NHS. Of course I would have presumed it would go without saying that I understand that NHS stlll exists in UK.<br /><br />And, yes, did mean virtuoso.

The NHS is alive and well, which is more than can be said for many of the patients. Oh and another minor point: in the entry on Elizabeth Ferrars, did you mean "virtuous" (line 5) or virtuoso?<br /><br />Anyway, two writers in this group I have not come across before. Yippeee! I shall look up ones from the previous entries as well. <br /><br />Happy New Year, Curt.
