(This is a thread for all fans of the weekday soap Doctors, BBC1, 1.45pm)

Now, we're in a bit of a dull spell. We need it bringing back to life. Charge the paddles, call 'clear' and mentally zap this soap back to life.

Hang in there people. It will get better I may be lying Grin

I agree about the coverage- the cameras seemed to be miles from the action.

Love how grumpy Harvey Smith isGrin

Horsemad · 06/04/2013 17:08

Harvey hasn't changed in attitude!

Horsemad · 06/04/2013 17:09

What a crap sentence - but you know what I meant! Grin

Raahh · 06/04/2013 17:25

Horse- nope, he hasn't.Grin

Oh MsN if only you had gone each way you would have been a winner! You had 3rd and 4th at 10-1 and 66-1, so would have got 2.5-1 and 16.5-1 wouldn't you?

Ouch Anne. I have just done the sums and minus my overall stake I would have won over 60 quid.

Oh well.

Been out all afternoon, but DH had an each way on Oscar Time, so that's nice.

Took th DCs to an adventure farm place, I sat in the sun and read the paper on my phone while they bounced on trampolines and bouncy castles all afternoon, bargain.

Now, I don't think I am going to catch up with last week's episodes - anyone care to give me a quick summary? I start jury service on Weds so not much hope for the next couple of weeks either :(

Morning who. I won't bother with the sub-plots but ongoing stuff with the Doctors this week was:

  • open verdict recorded on Sams death
  • TBFE is eager to get with 6tl but she is putting him off
  • He tried to get Chris to apply for a job outside the Mill. Chris refused.
  • Zaniel have been shagging like mad but now Zara is messing him around a bit
  • Mrs T and the Rev are getting on well

I have done jury service myself. Grim. I hope you don't get awful ones.

It was Ood but I get so frustrated typing on my tablet and I am far too lazy to move to get my netbook Grin.

Ood mini hi-jack- Doctor Who- I was very disappointed in this week. It was a bit dull, and the singing got on my nerves. But the mother had been in Doctors!
(don't go on DW threads, as I can't keep up with the theoriesGrin)

Oodsigma · 07/04/2013 11:08

The second episode is always a weak one. :(

I recognised the woman but couldn't place her.

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 07/04/2013 11:20

Thanks MsN. I have done jury service before and it was very interesting, but I seem to be the only person I have ever spoken to who has had a positive experience, everyone seems to have either had a grim one or sat around for two weeks bored just getting on the odd very short case. On that basis I'm not looking forward to it.

Toilet roll thief?!

What was happening with the DVDs and Daniel on Weds?

Raahh · 07/04/2013 11:20

It was weak- but I quite like the new assistant, although she did a lot of hair-swishing this week, which bugged meGrinAll the aliens were impressive, though. I'm looking forward to what they do for the 50th anniversary.

Raahh · 07/04/2013 11:23

Who- one of the dvds was of a food bank project that Mrs T and the Rev were going to watch. The other was from the stockroom- presumably showing Zaniel getting jiggy. Daniel picked up the wrong one and had to swap them round- so the Rev's congregation were spared seeing ZanielGrin

Raahh · 07/04/2013 11:24

The dvd from the stockroom was from the hidden camera that TBFE planted to catch the bogroll thief.

who Howard noticed someone had been nicking toilet rolls so he set up a hidden camera in the store cupboard without telling anyone. He recorded it on dvd. Zaniel had a fumble in the cupboard. Tbfe watched the dvd only to the point of seeing Al was the thief (I think Al sad he used them to mop sick up?)

Mrs T had a dvd about setting up a Foodbank. She passed it to Howard. Daniel was trying to get the fumble dvd and got the wrong one.

Although he got it back eventually with no-one seeing it (the fumble).

Now my finger hurts from typing...

I thought the Daniel cramp / Mrs T helping him was brilliant. They do humour / slapstick very well in Doctors.

Have to agree that Dr Who was pants last night. I am getting increasingly frustrated at the now seemingly endless powers of the sonic screwdriver. Plus the singing was worse than early auditions of X-Factor without the relief of Simon Cowell putting his hand up to put us out of our misery.

Raahh · 07/04/2013 12:23

Anne I agree about the singing. The funniest bit for me was that the moped seller was called Doreen. Which is my mum's name. evil Grin

I am watching it again, with dd1 (we always watch it first, in case it's scary). I don't think she's impressed, eitherGrin

toldmywrath · 07/04/2013 20:54

Yeah too much singing on Doctor Who & I've seen the new assistant (Oswin/Jenna Louise Coleman) without her kit on (on another telly show, can't remember what though) Grin

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 07/04/2013 21:03

Thanks Raaah/MsN.

Can't comment on Dr Who, never watch it.
