	Leonard Rossiter.com: Britannia Hospital
		Britannia Hospital is the flest of fl comedies, a bleak metaphor for British society in the early 1980s, an allegory of Thatcherism.
		Britannia Hospital is the third in a trilogy of films by director Lindsay Anderson relating contemporary British society.
		The hospital's green fields were covered with marquees, providing dressing rooms, toilets and wardrobe facilities, and a kitchen to feed the five hundred cast and two hundred crew was installed in the grounds.

	DVD Savant Review: Britannia Hospital
		Britannia Hospital undergoes a fateful, fitful day of escalating madness and tension, into which devious reporter Mick Travis (Malcolm McDowall) penetrates with his spy television camera.
		A new adjunct to the hospital is a modernistic and supersecret research facility run by the utterly insane Professor Millar (Graham Crowden), a latterday Frankenstein who has a plan to assemble an entire human from spare parts.
		An elaborate and grisly joke, Britannia Hospital is a no-punches-pulled satire of the state of British affairs in the Thatcher era.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: Britannia Hospital
		More anarchical than Paddy Chayevsky's Hospital and with something of the darkness of Lars von Trier's later The Kingdom, Britannia Hospital, which uses a day in the life of a hospital to critique contemporary Britain, continues in the spirit of the two earlier Mick Travis films, inserting unannounced fantasias into semi-realistic settings.
		The story concerns Mick's new job as an investigative TV journalist infiltrating Britannia Hospital on the day the Queen is visiting.
		The style of the film is for the most part stylized or exaggerated satire, and this kind of satire — while often acceptable in Monty Python — seemed to strike viewers and critics at the time as excessive and off-key.

	Britannia Hospital
		'Britannia Hospital''s overarching plot – which sees the titular establishment (acting as a microcosm for all of Thatcherite Britain) descend into conflict and madness, as 'haves' and 'have-nots' clash over healthcare – enables Anderson and his screenwriter, David Sherwin, to attack groups from across all of the political and social spectra.
		Both hospital workers and public figures, alike, are portrayed as being capable of cruelty, and thus almost no-one is spared Anderson's wrath.
		It is this fact that prevents 'Britannia Hospital' from being the exercise in rampant cynicism that many believe it to be.

	'BRITANNIA HOSPITAL,' A SATIRE - New York Times
		INSIDE London's venerable old Britannia Hospital, the administrators, the medical staff and the service personnel are making frantic, last-minute preparations for that day's festive celebration of the hospital's 500th anniversary, which will be marked by a visit by Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother.
		No secret is made of the fact that Britannia Hospital is a metaphor, but the reason the film works with such consistent funniness is not its satire, which is devastating, but the expertly staged and acted farcical complications that turn this day of celebration into a glimpse of the apocalypse.
		Anderson, ''Britannia Hospital'' discovers high comic order in the chaos of this one day, when the hospital is in the siege of union supporters and angry third-world partisans, while London itself goes gallantly on with its business as terrorists' bombs are exploding everywhere.

		Britannia Hospital, an allegory for what was transpiring in England at the time, was released in 1982, and is the final part of Lindsay Anderson' brilliant trilogy of films that follow the adventures of Mick Travers as he travels through a strange and sometimes surreal Britain.
		Britannia Hospital also proved to be one of the last decent films Malcolm McDowell was to appear in.
		Britannia Hospital was initially a disappointment because it is generally considered to be the third part of the Mick Travis trilogy, which it isn't.

	Movie Review: Britannia Hospital \| Mountain Xpress \| mountainx.com
		Indeed, I suspect that part of the reason Britannia Hospital is often dismissed has to do with the fact that it’s an angry film—perhaps the angriest one I can think of.
		Lower echelon members of staff are on strike in the hospital, while outright revolt is taking place just outside the gates—a revolt generated by the extra medical care offered to the hyper-rich patients who can afford the luxury.
		The powers that be in the hospital are both out of touch and arrogant (symptomatic of Thatcher’s Britain in many ways), and their primary concern lies with the impending visit of the Queen Mother, who is perhaps the last word in out of touch.

	dOc DVD Review: Britannia Hospital (1982)
		Travis is attempting to sneak into Britannia Hospital, where Professor Millar (Graham Crowdon) is busily engaged in mysterious "transplant" experiments that have a Frankensteinian edge to them.
		Meanwhile, the hospital is plagued by strikes on all sides, with the workers objecting to such matters as the private-pay patients being permitted special food.
		Protestors outside the hospital get violent as they object to the housing there of a cannibalistic African strongman modeled after Idi Amin, and in the midst of all this, to celebrate the hospital's 500th anniversay the Queen Mum is coming for a tour of the hospital and a presentation on Millar's Genesis Project.

		The story takes place in a hospital in Lewiston, Maine, built on the site of a Civil War-era mill fire in which many children died.
		In a commentary on the DVD Kingdom Hospital is described as a video book and it really feels that way, it's got a perfect pace and you can really ID with the characters who are very rich and well defined.
		It's sad that the ratings were low because I'd really like to see more of Kingdom Hospital and the characters involved.

	Alan Price Online \| Filmography
		O Lucky Man! was the second film in which Malcolm McDowell would portray Mick Travis for director Lindsay Anderson, following If..., and preceding Britannia Hospital; the film's surreal undercurrent was reinforced by the casting, in which nearly all of the principle actors play two or three roles.
		This dark comedy charts the chaos that results when the panicked staff of a major English hospital attempts to prepare for a visit by the Queen Mother, only to face every problem imaginable.
		, O Lucky Man!, and Britannia Hospital are considered a loosely linked trilogy by director Lindsay Anderson (largely due to the presence in all three of lead actor Malcolm McDowell in the role of Mick Travis).

	Premiere - Two Out of Three Ain't Bad
		It's just saying that the true anarchic spirit thrives on going overboard — that anything worth doing is also worth exaggerating.
		That's the spirit animating Anderson's 1982 Britannia Hospital, the third movie in the so-called "Mick Travis trilogy" (out in a somewhat-less-snazzy-than-If… edition from Anchor Bay since 2001), albeit in an entirely different way.
		While the movie itself goes overboard, Mick Travis winds up victimized by its anarchy.
