Herbert Lom Filmography

The Human Jungle is a British TV series about a psychiatrist, made for ABC Television by the small production company Independent Artists for transmission on ITV. Starring Herbert Lom, it ran for two series which were first transmitted during 1963 and 1964. Lom played Dr Roger Corder M.D., D.P.M, who saw patients in his own Harley Street practice and at the local St Damian's hospital. He was assisted by the more junior Dr Jimmy Davis , and his... secretary Nancy Hamilton and, more occasionally, by his personal assistant Jane Harris . He shared his home with his headstrong teenage daughter Jennifer , whose mother, we are told, was killed in a car accident. The majority of the episodes focused on a specific patient, whose psychological ailment Dr Corder would treat and, invariably, cure, using an idiosyncratic approach which mixed Freudian psychoanalysis with more contemporary methods associated with the likes of the controversial R.D. Laing. The first series was filmed at Beaconsfield studios, which closed down shortly after prouction ende, causing the second series to be undertaken at Elstree Studios.
