Doctors Addicts Anonymous Continued - New Year, new WTF

[MsNobodyAgain]

This is a thread for all fans of the daytime soap 'Doctors', BBC1, 1.45pm. All welcome, newbies, lurkers and regulars.

Quick New Year Resolutions:

• Mrs T will wear her flirty wig more often.
• Heston will develop a deep and lasting love for a woman in a flirty wig whose name begins with W.
• Howard will pursue his fishing interest so we see him in fishing gear and getting wet at every opportunity.
• 6tl will resolve to burn her shit blouses and perish in the fire.

I am sure you can all think of more.

Let the WTF commence!

It was the running joke about helicopters having it in for him that made #2 good. Plus as an accident so many potential victims skimmed past in favour of Romano

Was he the one who had his arm coptered off? I loved ER & Dr Green.
I loved St Elsewhere- Dr Ehrlich played by Ed Begley jnr is one I always remember. But the ending has completely gone out of my head-someone please refresh my memory of it?
I used to watch Sons & Daughters plus Young Doctors (both Aussie daytime soaps, I believe) Now that shows my age!

Yes, then he got killed by another helicopter a few seasons later, a bit unbelievable. Was it Archie who said "he must have done something really mean to a helicopter in a former life?".

Never watched Sons and Daughters or Young Doctors, although I do remember them being on.

Lol at 'a bit unbelievable' from a Doctors fan Gangster clowns anyone?

I watched shorthand street but I lived at home with my parents then and my mum watches everything! I'm sure at elsewhere seems familiar too. I loved ER!

I had different criteria for my enjoyment of ER!

told- the ending of St Elsewhere, iirc (and it's ages since i saw it), made out that the whole series had been in the imagination of Tommy - the autistic son of the Doctor whose name I forget. Weston? Anyway, he had a snow globe, and in the snow globe was a replica of the hospital, so we were meant to think everything that had happened had been in his head. I

Or something.

it was on a list of some of the most truly WTF series endings of all time. I'm not sure, but I think the series was axed, and the writers were pissed off.

My mum watched sons and daughters too :)

Thanks Raahh I have a vague memory of it now. I used to love watching it-had a lot going on & I can still visualise some of the characters. Iirc there was a rapist who turned out to be a doctor. It would probably seem dated now, but I'd watch it all again.
(I'm sure that a lot of people get their medical knowledge from all these TV shows)

I remember sons and daughters and young doctors, mum watched them so if we were off school we used to watch too.

Was Young Doctors the one which included the vet with the wombat as a pet? That's one of those shows that I mention and everyone else looks blankly at me.

Right who remembers Children's Ward?

Don't remember Children's Ward, however I do remember Angels.

Country Practice was the one with Fatso the Wombat.

I remember Children's Ward- I'm sure the girl who went on to marry Steve MacDonald in Corrie was in it.

Young doctors was amazing, they uniforms were ridiculously short- and there were never any patients, unless the doctors/nurses were ill

Children's Ward on Citv or whatever it was then? I remember that! Kevin Le Wotsits name off Corries (ex?) missus used to be in that!

I loved children's ward ! I used to watch casualty and play 'guess who has the fatal minor injury', holby and cardiac arrest. I also liked real hospital stuff, does anyone remember Jimmy's ? And we watch 24 hours in A&E now. I watch a lot of medical stuff ! the term medical used in a very loose sense

This is going to sound like I'm joking, but I genuinely loved Jimmy's!

It was fantastic, I think it was quiet ahead of its time thinking back now. Quite graphic too ?

I almost touched Paul Nichols today!! He looked really grumpy and was smoking but I seriously considered brushing past him in an almost empty street!

PAUL NICHOLLS Heartthrob and a half!

LOL that reminds me of the Blackadder sketch where Percy says " I nearly touched her once!" and Blackadder says "Touched her what?!"

Sorry forgot to mention, am a huge huge huge Blackadder geek.

Must go look for a thread about that too.......

Weathergirl looks ok today Raahh. Maroon jacket and black dress combo.

I'm at work and resisting the temptation to follow the thread

Resistance is futile, WhoKnows.

Afternoon, MsN.

the thread which is nearly full that is....
