Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Jacket by the BBC (illustrator). 1st Edition. First published as a paperback by Coronet in 1986, this is a first edition, first impression of the hardback edition (the tv series tie in), published by Methuen in 1987. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners slightly bruised, some yellowing to page block, not price clipped (£10.95), small previous owner's inscription to top ffep, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy for its age. 266pp. Lowlands University (based on the University of East Anglia at Norwich), is a swamp of fear and loathing. A showpiece Sixties campus looking increasingly anachronistic in the paranoid, profit driven Eighties, it is staffed by angst ridden academics desperate to hang onto their privileged status amid swingeing cutbacks. It also houses what may well be the worst medical practice in the British Isles. Stephen Daker sees his new job at the Medical Centre as a chance to pursue excellence among a dedicated team and he's somewhat shaken when his colleagues turn out to be a wildly unpredictable dipsomaniac, a public school educated fascist and an uber feminist who sees illness as something men do to women. Dark secrets, sinister experiments, demented academics, STD epidemics, the Yankee Dollar, a desperate Creative with writer's block and a couple of nuns all conspire to make life on campus a hair raising experience for Stephen! Andrew Davies' surreal, searingly funny look at sexual politics, medical malpractice and academic rivalry at the height of the Thatcher era, made into a a BAFTA award winning TV serial starring Peter Davison, John Bird, Barbara Flynn, Graham Crowden, David Troughton and Amanda Hillwood. A scarce book. Seller Inventory # 008828
