Disgusted by the poor quality food at St Swithins, Duncan and Paul both go on a macrobiotic diet, which entails them eating seaweed, millet and stuff normally found at the bottom of bird cages. Loftus invites them to dinner. They experience an evening of hell as they eat their own food whilst Loftus and his guests tuck in to succulent roast beef and crispy roast potatoes. Loftus refuses to believe the food in the hospital canteen is substandard - so he volunteers to try it himself...
The then-trendy science of macrobiotic cooking is given a kicking here. As with the 'Mr.Moon' episode of 'Large', the characters want to be healthy but learn the hard way that the lure of rich food is simply too great. Funniest moment - Duncan ordering a rump steak in the 'new, look' canteen - and then having a fit when he is told the price.
