''Takin' Over the Asylum'' is a six-part BBC Scotland television drama about a hospital radio station in a Glasgow psychiatric hospital. It was written by Donna Franceschild, produced by Chris Parr and directed by David Blair. It is set in a fictional hospital called St Jude's Asylum, filmed in Gartloch Hospital (formerly asylum) which closed after filming in 1996. The station is developed by alcoholic double glazing salesman Eddie McKenna (Ken Stott), who is an aspiring disc jockey at St. Jude's Hospital, named after the patron saint of lost causes. He meets a range of people with various mental illnesses: *Campbell (David Tennant) - a young, enthusiastic contributor to the station, who is a manic depressive (bi-polar). *Francine (Katy Murphy) - a long-term depressive patient who self harms and to whom McKenna is strongly attracted. *Fergus (Angus Macfadyen) - an electrical engineer, who has schizophrenia and a habit of escaping from the hospital then returning. *Rosalie (Ruth McCabe) - a middle-aged housewife who has OCD regarding cleanliness and is separating from her husband. The show uses many Beatles songs both in its soundtrack and episode titles. The name of the hospital, for example, is echoed by the Beatles' "Hey Jude". The show is also notable for its sound editing with popular music tracks seamlessly blended between soundtrack theme and live foreground action. The series BBC DVD was released on 9 June 2008 and the show was re-run on BBC4 beginning August 2008 with two episodes shown back-to-back over three consecutive Saturday evenings. Due to music copyright issues, Junior Campbell who wrote the incidental music, was also commissioned to record cover versions of most of the original hits included in the series soundtrack. These were dubbed on the original worldwide television transmissions (excluding UK) and also on the series BBC DVD. ==Episodes== Each of the episodes is named after a popular song. # "Hey Jude" # "Fly Like an Eagle" # "You Always Hurt the One You Love" # "Fool on the Hill" # "Rainy Night in Georgia" # "Let it Be" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Takin' Over the Asylum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
