I'm looking for peoples favourite examples of outstanding or unusual episodes from any series.
I remember when I used to work part time and caught afternoon tele (I know, I know:rolleyes:) and watched Doctors.
There was one episode about a man having a recurring dream that he was going to be run over by a lorry. He himself I think had killed someone in a hit and run and went to the doctors about it.
The doctor eventually got him to hand himself in at the police station and gave the man a lift there. As the man was crossing the road to confess what he'd done to the police he was run over by a lorry!
It was a surreal and intriguing episode of what was for me a somewhat mundane series.

The Newsroom "5/1" - A show not really loved but this episode dealt with the death of Osama Bin Laden and I thought it was done amazingly.
Doctors do stuff like that all the time even die hard fans are bemused at some of them
Rightfully regarded as one of the finest hours of TV ever.
It did indeed! Pam (Bobby's wife) woke up and Bobby was in the shower, and it had alllll beeeen a dreeeeam ...
There was also a wonderful scene after Barbara Bel Geddes (who played Miss Ellie) died when the character showed up played by a different actress and was greeted by the other characters without comment. It was a suspension of disbelief too far.
In one episode it was all done as a rock opera. It was one of the funniest things i've watched for quite some time.
Loser!!!
Another unusual MASH episode had the ghost of a dead soldier wander around the camp. Only Klinger is able to see cos he has a fever. At the end of the episode the fever breaks and he can no longer see the ghost.
Right at the end the original ghost sees another ghost who tells him it's time to go or wtte and they both start to walk down a path along with ghosts from other armies
~That is adorable, weird but adorable.:)
That episode was brilliant! Sarah Michelle Gellar was fantastic!
Two Pints of Lager.. "When Janet met Johnny" Shot as a stage musical and tells the story of ..well what it says in the title
Yes Minister - Party Games. Hour long episode where the PM resigns and Sir Humphrey engineers Jim Hacker into becoming the new PM.
The Thick of it - episode set in an enquiry into Government spin
This post reminds me of when the subject of Barbara Bel Geddes came up, for some reason, and the person I was talking to insisted that Barbara died whilst filming Dallas. I said I was sure that she'd only died a few years previously. It turns out that she had just retired back then and didn't die until 2005. I like being right!
Anyway, I'm going way off-topic. It's just that your post made me doubt my memory again!
It was raved about at the time for being brilliant acting.
