Title Of Show?

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for a sitcom that I've only ever seen the Christmas episode of and can no longer remember the title.

The premise of the show, if I recall correctly, was 3 hypochondriacs, or 3 mental patients--one of whom is a hypochondriac--living together or sharing a room in a hospital or asylum.

About me: Industrial First Responder in Northern Canada, big fan of Mrs. Brown's Boys and Waiting For God.

Hi Boss48, welcome to the site.

Might it be Game On?

If not, do you recall anything else at all about the programme? When you saw it, what kind of age it might be? 1980s? 1990s?

Any remote idea of what the cast looked like?

Thank you, Aaron. I would place the show in the late 1980's/early 1990's, the cast was older gentlemen; in their 60's and 70's.

I read a description of Game On, doesn't match the show I saw, but thank you for the suggestion.

Three guys in a hospital sounds like Only When I Laugh: https://www.comedy.co.uk/tv/only_when_i_laugh/

Not men in their 60s/70s, but otherwise it sounds like what you describe. At least two of them were hypochondriacs, and Richard Wilson (well known for playing Victor Meldrew) was their doctor.

That's the show! I was going by the description the narrator of the commercial gave in my OP, but that is the show!

It turns up on ITV3 every couple of months . . .
