S04E08: "The Russian", Aired: 27 October 2005, Series 4, Episode 8.

...A former KGB agent becomes the key to stopping a ruthless Russian criminal billionaire businessman's plans to dismantle the National Health Service after negotiating a deal by the British Government to sell the NHS to him.

Time is running out fast and the MI5 Counter-Terrorism Department, ("Section D"), are dangerously close to committing treason by trying to wreck the deal, and thereby saving the NHS in the process.

Sir Harry Pearce KBE, Head of "Section D", and Juliet Shaw, National Security Co-ordinator, discuss the aftermath, and ponder that the NHS woes are being solved instead by a 5 pence impost on top of the basic rate of income tax...

Priceless commentary on the privatisation and public--private-partnerisation of public health systems versus intelligent funding!
