BBC Doctors. Will Zaniel split? Will Al recover? Will Nina ever treat a patient?

[MadisonAvenue]

And is there going to be a Baby Bear?

Poor Al is going to be paranoid like Val was when someone broke into her house.

Didn't that happen to Heston too? I seem to recall him arming himself with a baseball bat

What a cheery song.

Doctors yes, that's when he whacked Curtis with the baseball bat and had to move into Juuuuuuliaaaas's house.

It reminds me a bit of my Granny's favourite..
" Mama what is that on the road
That looks like strawberry jam?
Hush hush, my child, it is Papa
Run over by a tram"

I still think Nina's brave not getting him a brain scan.

Actually I think it was a cricket bat. Which would be more Heston's style.

Fuzzy

Al's kept the woolly robot then!

You are ill. Name two people you don't want pestering you.
Answer: Rosie and Bear.

No Al the Mill will manage without you. After all it has zero patients

I'm glad he's kept the robot.

Jimmi looked quite scary, looming in the background.

Al had better not be leaving.

The programme can't lose any more characters- and definitely not a good one.

Talking of leaving-

SOD OFF- DANIEL!

There’s no way that’s al’s house. He’d already have ring doorbells, cctv etc. he’s a gadget man, he would be all over that. There’s also too many soft furnishings.

im not sure I’d want any of the drs looking after me. sid looks like he’s always unsure and like a bunny in the headlights

His house would also be strewn with empty pizza boxes Vegetables.

Yes! More takeaways, more gadgets and more lights. The kitchen would be clutter free and empty apart from the leftover takeaway stuff. Maybe a home brew kit knocking around

He would also have a life sized wookiie (sp?) by the sofa.

Fuzzy true- and a cabinet of memorabilia from whatever sci-fi show he likes.

(I did like the film poster on the wall-but that wathe only real nod to his 'geekiness').

Obviously the budget on Doctors does not not stretch to having the kind of technology/screens/tv and audio equipment that someone like Al would almost certainly have in real life.

I think I know what it is - she has a rather unusual affectation of closing her mouth tight as soon as she stops talking, even if she then goes on to say something else. It looks a bit unnatural, as the usual tendency is to leave the lips slightly parted if you're still talking. Once you see it you can't unsee it. I don't know if she did it in her Cilla days, but we'll soon find out as she's about to turn up on Classic Corrie in a few weeks' time!

Good point Tellytubby. That's so true.

I think it's a case of trying to be as far removed from Cilla as she could get. Only it has had the effect of making her sound far more fake than if she had stuck with an even vaguely 'natural' accent.

Just catching up on Tuesday's episode. Bear and a mystery GP doing a VPAS visit! No such thing exists! Bear should be far too busy doing his day job!

doctors I didn't understand it- at no point when Gobby and Val used to roam off on VPAS visits, (and when Scarlett started doing them) was there mention of this other bloke, (and he's just retiring, and had been in the job years he said) or an outside trainer. The training for the fake initiative seemed to be done amongst themselves.

Bear doesn't know what his 'day job' is though. He seems to be confusing it with his personal life, and disappearing midday for a heart to heart with his girl friend (who will have left before Christmas- if not way before).
