DOCTORS and nurses from Taunton's Musgrove Park Hospital swapped their white coats and uniforms for stockings and suspenders last week for their annual Christmas show.

Around 25 medical staff put on The Trust Files in the week of December 20, 1998, and the show was a pun on the X Files because organisers saw the show as an impossible task.

Ann Taylor, director of the show, said the year previously the show did not take place for many reasons but everyone was happy with its return.

She said: "So many people were disappointed, that we decided to revive it this year.

"We had a real cross-section of staff take part in the performance, including 12 consultants.

"The show ran for three nights and although it was extremely hard work, it was worth it and a big thank you to all the performers, people behind the scenes and the audience who helped raise money for Caring for the Elderly."
