DOCTORS- New year, new practice manager, same old WTF storylines (hopefully)

[Raahh]

New thread before the other fills up.

40ish I guess AnneEyhtMeyer, wasn't he a research scientist before he became a gp?

Adam Rickitt was selected by the Conservative party to be a potential MP- but he was never elected. Strings to his bow, that boy

I thought Al looked younger than 40. Probably his manner, doesn't see grown up.

Grantley has been in it before. I'm sure he was in a war with his neighbour.
I'm sure I keep missing episodes as I don't recognise them from your posts
Nice to see you back in the land of Bah Sparkling

Was Luke in hollyoaks? He looks like the guy who newt used to see when he was having his schizophrenic episodes (not quite sure of correct terminology).

Yep it was him, Eli.

Is Ruhma really smug and sanctimonious or is it just me?

There's something odd about her abnotfab - I don't know about smug though. She suffers from poor script as well.

Ah maybe it's a script thing then. She seems to have half a personality. In the beginning, she was quite bolshy and opinionated; now she's a bit..meh.

Maybe the scriptwriters don't know what to do with her.

absolutely - that's exactly how I see Ruhma.

I'm watching yesterday's now and came on here to moan about Ruhma being smug and sanctimonious.

This is the worst episode I've endured in a long time. AwfulNurse's dull family and Sanctimonious Ruhma.

Total waste of half an hour.

You didn't enjoy it then Anne ?

Why we have to revisit the Brenda Lee storyline is beyond me. You'd have thought Eeeeeeesh would realise that alcoholism is an illness & not a choice.

Not much, told.

I fell asleep in today's. What happened to sick newlywed? Did Gobby and Heston go to the Rachmanolo concert?

Cassava poisoning -it produces cyanide if not soaked & boiled enough before using. Diagnosed by Mrs T!

Gobby set up the concert & asked Ruhma to meet her there. This won't end well. Today's episode was directed by Chris Walker (aka the only Plod in the village)

Thanks. I'll know now to boil my cassava now. Good old Mrs T.

Well, I caught up with Thursday and Friday, yesterday. Decided cassava sounds bloody horrible and not worth the hassle- but apparently in some parts of the world, it is one of the main food sources. Doctors can occasionally be educational.

The one the day before with Newts imaginary friend, was annoying since there was far too much simpering Ruhma.

and TBFH is getting more obnxious- now he's being mean to Sid (who I hope has a state of the art all singing, all dancing exercise bike, and beats him and Daniel.).

Let's hope this is £80 well spent , Gobby.

Isn't Belvoir usually pronounced like beaver? Or is that just the castle?

Steady on, Eeesh. Are we being set up to think Eeeesh has a drink problem too?

Ruhma is crying

He broke into his house- and he defended himself. That's it.

Let Heston hook up with Mrs T, and sack Ruhma.

ooh, is he lying? The old bloke?

Oh shut up Ruhma.
