  Who's your favourite character? Mine's Michelle the Nurse aka Gob Almighty, because she's completly tactless but warm hearted with it and every episode she's in grabs my attention. (Of course it helps that Donnaleigh Bailey is gorgeous). I think the recent storyline with the murdered prostitute has really given a chance to see another side to her character.less «

  Ok so I was in Birmingham Town Centre on Friday (05/12/08) and I saw Ruth, I couldn't believe it, so I walked over to her and spoke to her and told her I thought she was great, I had told my Mom "There's Ruth." and she said "Who?" "Ruth Pierce." "Don't know her." "From Doctor's The Campus Surgery.", she was lovely, she looks as amazing in the flesh as she does on screen, I just spoke to her for a few minutes and then my Mom asked "So does anyone die again anytime soon." I knew she couldn't really answer that properly but she did say that there aren't any plans to get rid of anyone yet, my Mom then added I love Jimmi, to which she replied "Jimmi certainly seems to be the best loved person in it, he's played by an amazing person so I don't think they'll ever get rid of him to be fair, it's upsetting when actors want to move on but they have to to do other things." I then left her in peace and told her to have a wonderful time, she's amazing to meet and so friendly, that made my day my feet were drenched as my shoes were letting in water but still I met Ruth Pierce, I even got quite a few things from town for myself but still everything paled in comparison after meeting her. So it just goes to show even though they are your best loved afternoon fill, they're still easy to approach and say hello to.less «

  5 Mediocre

  I watched with interest for the first time today. I was surprised and disappointed with some of the advice that was being dispensed. I would ignore some of these doctor's advice. hide « show »

  There were several bits of advice I would not take if it were given to me. To discourage the masses from herbal supplements tells me this doctor and the show believes in synthetic pills as opposed to using mother nature. My children had great diets and I used supplements as immune boosters to keep them healthy. It was rare they visited a doctor. Although the exercise Wii was a good choice for the overweight child, at no point did I hear it suggested that the kid actually join a sports team or GO OUTDOORS, getting fresh air with the exercise. My next disappointment was to encourage a C section to bypass the pain of pregnancy. Have any of you ever had a C section and realize there is still a whole lotta pain with that if the mother does the responsible thing, if breast feeding, and not take pain medication?
  My last beef is the encouragement of Botox at a young age to prevent deep wrinkles when older. Are you joking? Sorry folks, I'll keep going to organic markets, take my green drinks and cheering my daughter on at her sporting events. My daughter is a two-sport, Division I athlete who was raised on fresh air, exercise, some herbal supplements when necessary. Anything natural is always better. Botox is a dangerous vanity drug that should be banned.

  7 Good

  Thwarted love due to parents' – 2 Indian women - expectations. A concealed pregnancy - how will it be dealt with? Concerned doctors who are always on hand to do home visits! Girl's mother sorts the neighbour and supports her daughter. hide « show »

  I teach English to immigrants and listen with interest to their opinions of this country. Culturally different students comment on the high incidence of teenage/unmarried pregnancies and one was horrified that a mother being interviewed on TV stated how 'proud' she was of her daughter. We discussed the emotions a mother would feel and agreed, 'proud' generally is not at the top of the list. In light of this I was amazed at 'Doctors' yesterday when the storyline of an Asian mother dealing with her unmarried daughter's pregnancy gave her the line 'I am so proud of you'.

  4.4 Poor

  For people who almost enjoyed Neighbours, but found that show's plots too believable, its acting not wooden enough, and its dialogue too punchy. hide « show »

  A common TV question is; why put a decent programme on in daytime? Most of the potential audience is working, there are tough limits on violence/sex/langauge, and your main audiences are housewives and pensioners who won't want anything demanding. While this stereotyping is increasingly untrue, TV networks know that it applies generally enough to make programmes like Doctors the staple of afternoon TV.
  
  The main cast is adequate at best - you can tell that Stephen Boxer is a decent actor, even if the scripts don't let him shine. Most storylines have extremely hokey beginnings, and the one-off characters are usually unbelivable exaggerated steoretypes. Some feel like standalone daytime dramas, often linked to the show's characters by tenuous means. It is excruciatingly common for a staff member to say "I'm really busy today, you'll have to make an appointment" or "can't you sort this out with your brother?", but then make a housecall and stay for hours anyway. Did the creators want to make a show called Social Workers, but fail to convince TV execs of its potential?

  10 Perfect

  A surprisingly underrated amazing tv show...only problem is: it is on while I am at school! hide « show »

  Basically the show follows a group of doctors who work together in a practise and it is generally about their relationships with each other and their families... At the moment Season 9 has just started but I've noticed that Greg isn't in the credits and he was by far the coolest doctor EVER!!!
  
  Anyway I must always get my daily fix of this show and I reckon I'm going to make more of my friends watch it... then hopefully ratings will go up and they will change it to a more suitable time, say like five o'clock or something like that!

  1.3 Abysmal

  This show used to be brilliant! hide « show »

  Although I'm one of their more younger viewers, I was a big fan of this show a few years ago, mostly during school holidays and such due to it's god awful afternoon slot time. But after recently tuning into it during a day off school I have to be completely honest, this show has gone Downhill! For those of you who are considering watching Doctors on BBC1, don't. Instead, tune into UKGOLD and watch the older episodes, with the more interesting characters and storylines. Episodes from three years ago are far better than the new episodes that are currently airing.
