TOPIC: DOCTORS - final show
#251146
DOCTORS - final show 8 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
It ends tomorrow Thursday - amazing that the penultimate show (filmed March) featured Timothy West in his last ever performance. He died last night. I'll really miss this show. When it was good it was very, very good indeed.

And Timothy West outlives his wife Prunella Scales whom I believe has had dementia for some time. How very cruel life can be. Two immense talents.

Thank you Cat. But it strikes me as the most amazing co-incidence that Timothy West died literally hours before his final acting job in Doctors. There is a God. And he/she/it has a great sense of humour.

I thought the final show and the documentary afterwards were splendid.

I have to admit I rarely watched this show, mainly because I have to work during weekday daytimes, however from what I've seen it is greatly loved, well made and gives acting opportunities to older actors that rarely get to work anymore (Diane Keen, Angela Bruce, melvyn Hayes). it is another loss for the BBC after Andrew Neil, Emily Maitliss, Ken Bruce, and Gary Lineker.

I'm not a "soap" fan as such but Doctors, when good, could be great. It was also sometimes awful. But if I were DG there are many other shows I would have axed and Doctors deserved Prime Time far more than Eastenders, Emmerdale or Corrie.

I can't stand Eastenders, but it does get millions of viewers. As for the other 2, they are itv shows, so not the remit of
Itv, as you know.
