BBC Doctors - Return of the Mac

New thread

She's going to pimp out Scarlett.

The perils of self employment Holly

I'm very disappointed with today's effort.

Her eyelids moved!

Her voice is suddenly fine i notice.

I know.

And see- the flat mate is up to something.

Oh eff off Rosie and take your annoying family with you.

Oooh Rosie and Graham tomorrow. When I can't watch live. Bugger.

It comes to something when I prefer the Rhuma episodes. But the episodes with Rob strangely work.

And are far better than Rosie. .

I want a coat like Rhuma's!

I'd be tempted to sleep in it

The woman who interviewed Kirsty plays Fallon in The Archers.

I wish I’d taken more notice of her now!!

@OCaledonia just watched back her interviewing Kirsty. Now I know I can hear Fallon but I’d never have guessed.

Just realised Kirsty is no longer in the credits. Is she really gone or is this a bluff?

Something nice at least. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/QjAU4HDn3XCJPaAZ/

Bingle From what I've read, I think she may have actually left- which is disappointing, because it felt like her being pushed out was leading to something.
But Doctors has a habit of doing this. It sets up something that looks like it could be a half decent (ish) storyline- and then it fizzles out and what actually ends up happening is pretty underwhelming.

I think the only time they have thought things through and played the long game, was the 'Jimmi in the Clink' story line.

Not sure I can cope with Rosie til December.

Oh that is nice Bingle- it's good it is being recognised. Although we complain about the storylines, it does have a place in the schedules, and it will be missed.
And lots of industry types/actors have come forward since it was axed and said how Doctors has been a great place for writers/ actors starting in the business- and that there are not many opportunities left like that now.

I think it's a mistake really. I always say, I still miss Holby. The BBC has never really replaced it. They won't replace Doctors- and I still don't see how it ever cost them much (watching it, I don't see where the money goes ).

I’m sure I read that the set needed updating which would cost too much, but if they were filming episodes in there then there couldn’t have been much wrong with it and it was clearly still usable.

There seems to be some confusion as to whether it’s on next week or if it’s taking a break. The TV mags reported it as being off until the end of the month but the BBC page shows episodes dated for next week.

Madison I always read ahead on the BBC pages, (I like a spoiler ) - and I'm confused about the supposed 'break' as well. Although one of the episodes listed is a bit out of sync, if there is no break, iyswim?

I don't really understand why there would be a break so soon after the summer one, though anyway.

Forced schedule changes because of unforeseen things (Queen dying, elections every 5 minutes, disasters in other countries) are one thing, but a random 3 week break, when they have just been off all summer (and ending for good in December) seems very odd.

Afternoon!

Where will all these actors from the 70s and 80s find somewhere to do one episode when Doctors goes .

Off to a good start there- will Graham have an issue with 'older people in the work place' now?

Ruhma is not taking this very seriously Great hat,

She doesn't look well.

She's drugged her.
