7* AmbivalentAnglican: The reverend who shows up in the first episode is actually a former surgeon who had a breakdown and was only allowed back in the hospital as a chaplain. Sister Hope scoffs at the idea of him being a chaplain who "doesn't even believe in God." Dr Noble shrugs this off and says it's alright since he's C of E.
8* EverybodySmokes: PlayedForLaughs. All the nurses are smokers.
9* EverythingExceptMostThings: The porter mentions that he's been as busy as a bee, except for the fact that he doesn't have pollen sacs in his groin.
