Mumsnet Talk

This is a thread for any fans of the afternoon soap called 'Doctors'

It's coming up to the festive season:

- Will Mrs T be permanently stationed under the mistletoe while Dr Cah-tah sweeps by, un-seduced by her fanciest wig and chrrrrrrrrrrrristmas cake?

- Will Zara and Daniel be reunited and have a Christmas kiss?

- Will Barry tie mistletoe to his security hat and go in search of true love?

- Has Kevin been getting my fan mail and will abandon Doctors to go forth with me and have a perfect life? <arf>

Please join in if you want to. Acronyms to follow but you don't have to use them, we are just glad desperate you are here

Well, when you put it like that I'm going to have to keep watching aren't I?

<combusts with excitement and expectation>

Thanks for the new thread MsN. You are spoiling us as usual.

Ta to Raahh (that rhymes) for this:

O.k- here goes, the SDTP's guide to Doctors

SDTP -sad Doctors thread participators, because that is what we are. And proud.
WTF?!- what the fuck- the usual exclamation of an SDTP, after an episode. Plots must not make sense.
BAH - boring as hell. An episode that fails to meet WTF standards.
TBFE - Practice manager Howard-a.k.a 'the bloke from Emmerdale'
Gobby - Karen the receptionist. Because she is.
Gobbyplod - Husband of Karen, Rob. Also know as 'The Only plod in the Village'
Princess Bubblegum - Cherry, annoying practice nurse, erstwhile perma-chirpy wife of Dr Jimmi. Latterly, miserable caaaahh after liason with fellow doctor, Daniel (see 'merlot o'clock'). has now left thank fuck
Chimmi - Cherry and Jimmi
Chaniel - Cherry and Daniel
Red trousers of luuuurve - Dr Kevin's pulling pants.
6tl - Emma, new locum, so named due to the fact she has been a different character 5 times before. This is 'sixth time lucky'
Merlot o'clock - the act of shagging best friend of husband, after boozing in the afternoon.
Beanbags - now redundant seating of choice, now Elaine the lentil weavery doctor has left. She of the 'necklaces of doom'. New seating arrangements tbc. Kevin's lap a possibility. ( reserved for MsN )
Jizz - annoying new moany doctor. So named after she took to sex chat line work to supplement income. All her clients very speedy in the finishing department.
Mrs T - Mrs Tembe, wig wearing receptionist. Judgemental Christian. Hopes of a Hestembe relationship diminishing-see Dr Heston
Dr Heston - unlucky in love bow tie wearing doctor, unaware of Mrs T's affections.
Juuuuuuuliaaa - previous practice manager, Heston still lives in her house. She lives in Wales with MtM.
FOD - Lesbian practice nurse Mandy. Annoying. Her girlfriend (Freya) is dead. we are not allowed to forget. FOD stands for Forehead of Doom. It's mahoosive
MCL - Mad Cat Lady Val, hopefully temporary receptionist. Irritating beyond belief

Thank you!!!! I put way to much energy into this thread. A proper SDTP indeed.

Now, where are the others? <cracks whip>

Mtm = Martin the Mechanic!

Signing in ( well done msnobody)

Now which of the empty waiting room chairs shall I have?

Horsemad (when you arrive) - re references- It's usually you've got the job subject to clearence. Don't hand your notice in before you've received confirmation.

Just saw your post on the old thread Ood thanks!

I've forgotten the policewoman as well. Erm,

CWPP Creepy Woman Police Person. Gobbyplods boss. Currently working undercover with him and getting all touchy feely with him.

X-post!

fab new thread- SDTP's rock!

I may have had a drink or 3

And for clearing up the reference bit

<preens>

I have a glass of.....Merlot! Totally unconscious decision to buy it in Home Bargains (classy) earlier. Along with toothbrushes, glue sticks, Moshi Monster mouthwash and a nail brush. Oh, you've gotta love a bit of Home Bargain shopping.

Wow, no Home Bargains near us .

I will raise a glass of with you though, thanks for the new thread.

Signing in to lovely new thread from holiday so I don't lose you all on my return. I need support with my embarrassing addiction.

Can't believe there is a new doctor. Have they decided to start seeing patients or is that a step too far?

Missed first few minutes. Damnation!

Right here we go. Finally get to watch live- tomorrow prob won't as dcs are off school due to the school being used for polling. Blimmin' police commissioners!

on my fb feed the Doctors bit said something like 'today is is cloudy in Leatherbridge'. It's like Balamory

I'm not buying this Gobby plot- they were happy as larry a week ago.

Gobbyplods got hair like Jeremy Kyle

Is that a skeleton?

MsNo- you didn't miss much

Just tuned in. Lost.

Don't ask me Sparkling. I'm juggling a sick kid, making corned beef hash and watching Doctors. I am lost too.

Karen's lost weight.

poor Gobby

I have a poorly DS2. He is coughing like a barking dog.
