Doctors

I used to wathc this programme - so I know its always been bad, trashy T.V. that you didn't expect to engage your brain watching. However I watched it again recently and found it laughable! The storylines are increasingly ridiculous. The programme is set in a doctor's surgery in the Midlands, though I think maybe one of the cast may actually be from the area. You would expect it maybe to be a bit like a daytime version of Holby or Casualty with medical drama and personal stories combined, but this programme is not even near the standard of these two (and they aren't brilliant!). The acting has also gone downhill (and it did not have far to go). ...  Read the complete review

We also have two lovely ...  Read the complete review

The programme revolves around the Doctors surgery and the univerity surgery in the fictional town of Letherbridge. I think it must be an extreamley large town because we never seem to see the same person twice!! The stories may revolve around the patient, the doctor or the admin staff associated with the doctors or Nurses. There are also some spin off ...  Read the complete review
