Britannia Hospital

Britannia Hospital is gearing up to open a new wing when HRH the Queen is due to arrive. Potter negotiates with protestors to manage the day by ejecting private patients in exchange for allowing ambulances through. Unbeknownst to the demonstrators, the ambulances carry the Queen Mother and her entourage into the hospital.

Potter meets with the protest leader and offers a bargain to quiet the demonstrations. He agrees to eject private patients and permit some ambulances so the royal visit can proceed. The arrangement is made behind the scenes, with the crowd unaware of the true purpose.

Ambulances carrying the Queen Mother and her entourage slip into Britannia Hospital as part of Potter's deal. The protestors believe they are merely facilitating medical traffic, while the royal arrival is quietly secured. Tension between protesters and hospital authorities builds in the chaos.

Mick Travis, a reporter, uses the help of a sympathetic nurse to gain entry and film a clandestine documentary. He begins to uncover Millar's questionable practices and the darker side of the hospital's new wing. Outside, the protests continue to boil as the day unfolds.

Inside, Travis investigates Professor Millar's sinister experiments and discovers evidence suggesting the murder of a patient, Macready. The findings point to a broader pattern of unethical testing. The tension escalates as Millar's secrets come to light.

As mayhem erupts outside, Travis is murdered and his head is used in a grotesque Frankenstein-like experiment. The revelation demonstrates the brutal lengths of Millar's research. The hospital's facade of reform collapses in the wake of the atrocity.

The demonstration bursts into Britannia Hospital, breaking the surface calm and threatening to derail Millar's presentation. They aim to disrupt the Genesis Project and expose the hospital's dubious practices. The line between protest and riot blurs within the corridors.

Millar presents his Genesis Project to an audience of royalty and commoners, claiming to have perfected mankind. He demonstrates a brain wired to machinery, presenting it as a breakthrough. The spectacle unfolds amid the growing hospital chaos.

The Genesis machine is given a chance to speak, its voice robotic and unnerving. It quotes Hamlet and debates the nature of humanity and power. The revelation turns the demonstration into a chilling interrogation of hubris.

The machine continues to speak, delivering the famous line 'What a piece of work is a man' and then the refrain 'How like a God.' The repetitive cadence amplifies the sense of dehumanization at the heart of Millar's project. The audience watches in uneasy silence as the performance spirals.

Outside and inside the hospital, chaos reaches a fever pitch as protests, media, and staff collide. The Genesis showcase becomes a sideshow to a broader collapse of order. The royal entourage remains a symbol amid mounting turmoil.

The Genesis project collapses under its own overreach, leaving a wake of disruption and questioning of institutional corruption. The film leaves the viewer to ponder the dangers of spectacle and unchecked power in science. Britannia Hospital's satire ends on a note of unresolved moral ambiguity.
