This is a thread for all fans of the daytime soap 'Doctors', BBC1, 1.45pm.

If you like a world more WTF than Willy Wonkas, you're in the right place. Please join in whether you are a regular, a newbie or a lurker. It's good fun Grin. Doctors brings us Austen week next week. Doctors and Austen? How?

Sorry Ood. I hope TBFE wears that military costume again.

jonicomelately · 14/10/2013 14:13

Hurray! It's back tomorrow!

out2lunch · 14/10/2013 14:13

fab fab fab

pembeRaahhley · 14/10/2013 14:13

Fuzzy- it is brilliant!! Never has half an hour of Doctors gone so quickly!

(see, I'm even writing posts Austen style!)Grin

out2lunch · 14/10/2013 14:13

love the bob :)

cinnamongreyhound · 14/10/2013 14:15

TBFE was pretty scary then.

Zara's character didn't seem interested in Daniel's though. Jimmi was very excited that Lizzie was interested though.

pembeRaahhley · 14/10/2013 14:15

That was just as good as I hoped- and dd2 managed to leave me toit, almost to the end!Grin

NorthAnneEyhtMeyerAbbey · 14/10/2013 14:15

Jimmi mooning over Lizzie is great!

NorthAnneEyhtMeyerAbbey · 14/10/2013 14:15

Oh! TBFE! I so would.

pembeRaahhley · 14/10/2013 14:18

And then it all gets spoiled by KUA.Haloween Sad

NorthAnneEyhtMeyerAbbey · 14/10/2013 14:20

Love that they used Zara'a singing as the closing music! This is superb!

I thought Miss Bingley did show her attraction to Darcy - touching his arm and flirting.

I loved that so much! Can't wait for tomorrow's! I wish the whole week was in costume.

Makes me want to watch the Firth / Ehle version of Pride and Prejudice again.

OohDoctorDarcy · 14/10/2013 14:35

Enjoyed that for the WTF factor but think it might have meant more had I known Austen.

Still hoping for Doctors/Dr Who crossover

madhairday · 14/10/2013 15:36

Loved that as a wtf doctors and Austen fan :)

Was that really Zara? Shock assumed she was lip syncing?

Loved TBFE and Daniel in costume. Jimmi looked well creepy with those sideburns and Chris was utterly rubbish and wooden. Gobby was magnificent as I thought she would be, and 6tl and Heston were ace. Loved it. Not so good with the Northanger refs, wish they'd done S&S instead, Jizz would make a suitably silly Marianne Grin

curlyclaz13 · 14/10/2013 16:04

Bloody hell ! I had no idea wtf was going on ! Heston as John Mccruick and 6tl looked like a witch. Could they not find a part for jizz and what about Barry Shock

cinnamongreyhound · 14/10/2013 16:06

I thought it seemed more like friends catching up but perhaps I'm not good with subtleties.

Where's Kev?

cinnamongreyhound · 14/10/2013 16:13

My interpretation having never read any Austen before was that Jimmi had got his buddies together to see if one of them fancied marrying his cousins- FOD and random mute girl. They then had a chat with the Gobby and her mates with lemonade on a blanket, followed by some time enjoying themselves playing cards, singing and reading with a bit more flirting in the evening. It was all the mute girls dream after she'd prefer to be in the world of Austen than in real life where some kind of trauma is stopping her talking.

toldmywrath · 14/10/2013 17:42

Yep-I loved it. Really showed up the real actors from the amateurs (Zara & 6tl probably the best, then FOD)Loved Heston's get up, 6tl did look like a witch, not enough of TBFE (nice name btw Anne)
Hello to newcomers & I didn't know that Elisabeth (Zara) could sing-it looked & sounded great.

OohDoctorDarcy · 14/10/2013 19:08

Just looking up what else they were in on IMDB.
When Gobby was in Holby was she Kurt (from Hollyoaks) mum?

OohDoctorDarcy · 14/10/2013 19:20

& Heston was a regular on Alexi Sayle Shock

Gobby plod has been in loads of police programmes ( think he likes the uniform?)

Freya (who?) was in the woman in black Shock

Chris was in being humanShock

Al was in this & also has been a Slitheen ( we discussed this the other day Grin)

pembeRaahhley · 14/10/2013 19:53

OMG- Al really was a Slitheen??

BrilliantGrin

I only vaguely remember Gobby in Holby- although i remember Jeremy Wotsit very well.

Sometimes, i spot people really easily. Other times, I am rubbish (the fact it was years before I realised Heston was in'One Foot in the grave' being a good example of thisGrin).

OohDoctorDarcy · 15/10/2013 07:22

It's was Sarah Jane rather than Dr Who but yes, Al was a Slitheen!

pembeRaahhley · 15/10/2013 10:39

Ahh, Sarah Jane, I loved the Sarah Jane Adventures, (probably more than ds at the time).

Perfect casting for Al there.Grin

I hope today's is as good as yesterday's- I could really do with cheering up. It was my monthly 'breakdown in Asda' moment today- think the staff are getting used to me, they will be providing tissues and a cup of tea by next monthGrin.

And then dd2 got her finger trapped in the car door, so I feel awful. Sad

OohDoctorDarcy · 15/10/2013 12:19

Ouch. She will be fine though.

Was it your ds going to china?

pembeRaahhley · 15/10/2013 12:33

Ood- yes- it's all coming around a bit soon. We got the kit list yesterday, and he flies out 3 weeks today .All the kids are very excited- all the parents are having second thoughtsGrin. Between that,high school applications and Christmas coming, I just wish I could hibernateGrin

MsNobodyAgain · 15/10/2013 12:35

Oh dear Raahh, have a Brew lovely.

Must be a bad day. I was blubbing on the phone to my solicitor this morning. Halloween Blush

Hard faced cow never paused for breath either, just carried on!
