Whicker's World

A Very Serious Doctor (1x5)

He comes from the Sixth Sphere. A doctor, in fact, who comes from a world other than Whicker's - indeed from "the Other World." He is one of the unorthodox healers to whom thousands of patients are looking today for a cure for their apparently incurable ailments.

Are they gullible, stupid, superstitious - or ordinary people who believe medicine has failed them? More significant, perhaps - who are the "healers" who practise these methods, and others less extreme like Acupuncture, Osteopathy, Hypnotism, and Faith Healing? What are their claims? How do they justify them? And of course there's a "price" to pay. You choose your cure, pay your money and - then what?
