Jason's Other Groovy TV Show - Department S

The Perfect Operation

Director: Cyril Frankel

Original broadcast date: 26-Nov-1969
Screenplay: Leslie Darbon

City of Southwark Hospital, London , England - October 24
After suffering a major brain haemorrhage, Foreign Office minister, Peroguine Haslette-Wood is admitted to hospital for emergency surgery, but officials are shocked to discover that a top neuro-surgeon had been replaced midway through the procedure by an unknown, but highly-skilled intruder. When Department S arrive on the scene, Jason is convinced by an old school chum that he had once met the patient in Istanbul whilst researching a Mark Caine novel, yet Annabelle's records argue that the Minister has never visited the city!
