The end is nigh... final Doctors thread?

[Binglebong]

Will this be the last....?

Is it worth doing a thread on Classic Doctors? We can't really do a watch along given the time though.

Channel 5 where are you when we need you? 🙏🏻 🙏🏻🙏🏻

It’d be the perfect show for 5

I’ve made one seeing as this is close to filling up

This is a very good/fair review of Doctors last episode

Apparently the music in the final Icon scene was the version of "It's Not Unusual" performed by Bear and Luca at the charity do. Several of the potd were named after Production team,

I love this attention to detail.

It's such a shame that over the last years since Covid, it got really poor at times- because this past few weeks has shown how good it could be.

It's like someone at the BBC accounts department caught one of the really bad episodes and thought 'what is this dross- that can go' and that was it.
I still don't get how it cost that much over the years. (But I know nothing about tv production).

I mean- Doctors perfected the art of recycling- actors , sets and buildings for different locations, plots (!), wardrobe, some of the actors directed/wrote episodes. They didn't exactly spend a fortune on extras (i.e patients) either!

Maybe that was what Rosie's sustainability thing was a dig about- they were actually quite a self sustaining programme for a while!

Agree @Raahh it annoys me so much especially with the endless new daytime game shows with their fancy sets and presenters that cost a fortune.

And Mrs Brown's Boys.

Who watches that rubbish ??

I have missed you all. I shall miss docTors too. X

Just seen it will be replaced by SCAM DETECTIVES or some such consumer show with rav wilding

Btw does anyone know why the T is capital?

Probably because they outsourced the marketing to the local primary school.

Fuzzy 😁😁😁😁

I don’t wish to be the bearer of bad news but apparently the BBC own the rights to Doctors. This makes it different to Neighbours.

So no hope then 😢

Not unless the BBC can be convinced to give up the rights.

They posted this on the BBS Doctors Facebook page https://fb.watch/vTfX1G_U31/

Thanks for the link. I can forgive them for that, it was lovely to watch.

Yes, I posted that yesterday, they recorded it for the 20th anniversary. Jimmi featured heavily in the storylines at that time too. (Jimmi in the Clink).

I'm still annoyed that they weren't at least allowed to make it to the 25th anniversary in March.

I've just caught up with this week's episodes! Loved them, a fitting end I think. I'm only crying because I had some really good unconnected news this afternoon 😃

Ah, sorry thought it was the old one - this one has Luca singing too

I know someone who was in it 7 times as different characters! Shame he never got taken on full time!

Sean Prendergast, who was in it yesterday, had been in it 7 times too. And Ellie Beavan had been in it before too, quite early on.
