The row over UK NHS hospital televisions that patients cannot switch off, intensified yesterday after a man in greater Manchester forced a portable TV down the throat of a staff-nurse.

The man, French ex pop star, P Mathis, now living in Cheshire, told police that he had repeatedly asked staff nurse Dorothy Dewdrop to switch off the TV set which was showing an “Unbearable” stream of Bucks Fizz video clips.

“Ms Dewdrop was repeatedly ignoring my demands…” He claimed. “She is thinking, you know, it is all a joke… She say, “Look Mr Mathis, It’s the Fizz that gives you Wizz.”
“When I am complaining again, she tell me that the TV isn’t having an on-off switch…”

When Staff Nurse Dewdrop told Mr Mathis that noone liked the Bucks-Fizz videos but that if she had to put up with TV being rammed down her throat all day long then so did he, he held her at her word and forced her to swallow the 12 inch TV set.

Asked to comment on the affair Nurse Dewdrop, who seemed to be in fine form despite her ordeal, told BIGfib “Well you gotta heat it up, and then you’ve gotta move it round, and if you believe that your love can hit the top, you gotta, stay around, and then you will find that there comes a time, for making your mind up.”
