A satirical medical comedy, CARDIAC ARREST follows the perils and pitfalls of the staff in an NHS hospital. Idealist and newly-qualified houseman Dr Andrew Collin arrives on the wards with the best intentions, ready to put his theoretical knowledge into action. Within no time, he realises that his optimistic outlook is at odds with Claire Maitland, the senior house officer; someone who sets about trying to teach the young doctor a lesson. Includes all the episodes from all three series.
Advantages: A few bangers Disadvantages: A couple of weak tunes
...In 1977, the Larry Blackmon-led Funk-based R&B and Soul band Cemo made their debut when they released ?CardiacArrest?. The New York-based ensemble is so-called as they took influence from the greats in Monster Funk to come up with something that works for them where they contain a massive group of part-timers who all come together, giving short cameos , to create the desired effect.

On the whole i was immensely pleased with the product. If you are a fan of the series then this is one boxset you will not want to miss out on.
when regarding the actual product; the boxset that contains the 6 dvs's is...
