BBC Doctors - Return of the Mac

[MadisonAvenue]

New thread

I looked it up and can't find anything to say you have to pay if you aren't using it as a contraceptive. He is really making my blood boil. I hope he is gone very soon but I suspect not.

It does look like anything on the accepted list is always free. If it isn’t on the list you have to mark the script to show it’s being used as a contraceptive which will make it free.

Can’t see anything that says you can mark a few item as not free.

Are we taking this too seriously? 😂

Will Graham and Luca have a huge argument, witnessed by the CQC that will lead to the end? Or will Rosie just drive someone mad and they strangle her? Either way, they need to be approaching the end game really soon!

I have always overthought things on Doctors- which is daft, because I'm quite sure the writers don't!

They really are running out of time - and it feels like they keep bringing up things that could potentially be the thing that is the cause of the end. But not everything can be .

It could end up like a St Elsewhere (remember that ? ) scenario (where the whole of programme had been in the imagination of the son of one of the surgeons. He had autism, and the 'hospital' was in a snowglobe or something.).

It will all be a big dream of Macs or something. . And he's been sitting in the Icon for the past 20 odd years , mulling over a pint.

If they could get rid of Graham this week so he doesn’t spoil the last couple of weeks I’d appreciate it.

Also, I’ve overbooked myself with medical appointments this week so I can’t watch live so that would be a good time for him to go.

I would LOVE to see the back of Graham, preferably sooner rather than later!

I did think wasoverthinking that Bear might have agreed to the CQC to visit because he thought they might be able to expose Graham and what is going on? I don't actually know what a CQC visit entails and what they are looking for...

@Raahh oh I loved St Elsewhere and remember Dr Ehrlich especially. I absolutely do not remember that ending though 🤦‍♀️

Graham is awful. What is his problem though? He should live and let live.

Have to say I'm impressed by the actor though- he does "I'm innocent me" slime very well. The look of incandescent rage today was amazing.

I get the impression that they have crammed every story they planned for the next year in the final few weeks. Men's mental health. Tick. Environment. Tick. Homophobia. Tick. Overworked and overstretched NHS. Tick.

No live watch for me today. Offered choice if two appointment times for counsellor and stupidly picked 2pm. Fingers crossed Graham will have got his comeuppance by the time I’ve finished.

I’m watching live for a change.

Ooh is there going to be a showdown?

solar panel guys are so dodgy. Rosie gives them a blank cheque and bankrupts the mill?

Is Rosie’s cowboy builder nephew going to fail to check if the roof is strong enough to bear the weight of the solar panels?

Or will one of them fall through the roof because they aren't doing all the proper working at height stuff. Luckily there are doctors in the house.

So in the meeting it was light outside but they’re surveying in the dark

Oh blimey Luca

It's a really nasty storyline. Luckily really should have walked away until Emma arrived instead of getting into that discussion with Graham. This is going to get bad for Luca. Graham is getting what he wants.

Yes, I’m surprised he didn’t wait for Emma before going into the meeting with Graham, or simply delaying it and waiting elsewhere until she was ready.
But that’s not such a shocking storyline I suppose.

Oh really Joan, you're so picky 😂

I fully expected someone to come through the roof and ceiling on to Bear's desk. Even better if they'd come through directly above Graham and knocked him out so he had no recollection of Luca punching him and the injury was disguised.

The writers really weren't trying at all. Then again, over the years, our plots have been so much better.

Oh Luca! If only he had waited for Emma to come, but then again Graham wouldn't have said half of what he did then. Gah!

I wonder if the penny will drop that Al told Graham about Luca's partner dying when Jimmi finds out what happened? Rosie's family are a nightmare and another unnecessary storyline...

I was actually thinking will they fall through the roof hence ending the practice and the series?!

Missed today live- it's the half term holiday here, and dd2 wanted to go in to town. At least it wasn't raining.

So, I'm goingto catch up now, though having read your comments, not sure I want to!
