docTors, almost the end of the season....although Letherbridge has its own seasons.

New thread for season finale.

It got a bit of a panning on Points of View today

Easily I saw that. I'm not sure what anyone was expecting- it's never been high art - and most soaps/programmes are being affected by the socal distancing thing, so I'm not sure why Doctors is any different in that respect.

I did wonder if some of them had ever seen the show before.....

Easily It did sound a bit like some of them hadn't !

Let's face it, if it was high class drama this thread wouldn't be half as much fun

What did they say on POV? Bad acting, ridiculous storylines, unrealistic portrayal of a GP surgery?

That's what makes it our wonderful familiar docTors!🤣

I don't think the acting is that bad. Anyone remember Eldorado? That was really bad.
All the rest is true though

Fatima some of the acting is truly terrible- but a lot of the main cast are pretty decent actors.

Eldorado reminds me of the day of my graduation from University, because that was the day they aired the final episode. July 9th- 1993. .

I used to enjoy Eldorado, partly because of the acting! I didn't realise it was that recent Raah.
DD has a friend who teaches drama at a university. She says the most some of her students can hope for is a walk-on part in Doctors!

Well, 27 years doesn't feel that recent, but I suppose it is-ish .

I suppose the fact Doctors got a mention on POV is something, I suppose- shows it hasn't been forgotten about

The trouble with it not being on on a Friday, is it gives me an extra day to forget what happened in the last episode!

I was going to say you don't expect good acting on daytime TV, but I really loved The Heights (which was prime time TV in Australia).

Oh, I really enjoyed the Heights. I was quite sad when it ended.

I'm ready for my fill of WTF. DP is working from home but I've shoo'd him back upstairs

Zara popped up on MIDSOMMER MURDERS yesterday

Using a LONG BOW

Ahh Valerie in prime sympathy mode.

SUB - oh, I've seen that one- is it where she gets married? She is vair posh in it, iirc.

Val is going to find the daughter isn't she ?

Raahh I wasn't totally paying attention but then heard her voice and went ooooh

Did I miss something with fake midwife and Sid?

Oh dear Val

Blame Deb fancies Sid

SUB -it's one of the only MM ones I remember- mainly because of 'Zara'.

Oh no, Deborah isn't still after Sid, is she?

So the daughter convinently lives in Letherbridge but has not seen her mum in years

She'll be drinking tea at her bedside by 2.15

I think she was adopted/fostered Blame.
