Doctors is a British daytime television soap opera, set in the fictional city of Letherbridge, which started in 2000.

History

It is produced by BBC Birmingham and screened on BBC One. It tells the story of the staff at the fictional Mill Health Centre and Letherbridge Universities Campus Surgery. It originally starred Christopher Timothy (who made his name as James Herriot in the series All Creatures Great and Small) as Dr. Brendan McGuire from the series' inception until he left in May 2006.

The series was different from the other British soaps in that, prior to 2007, it took lengthy breaks in transmission over the summer. It was originally filmed at the BBC's Pebble Mill studios in Edgbaston, Birmingham. However, four years into the show's life Pebble Mill was closed down so the soap moved to the BBC Drama Village site in Selly Oak. Portions of the show involving the police station are filmed at the BMS World Mission premises known as IMC International Mission Centre at 24 Weoley Park Road in Selly Oak

From 16 February 2009, Doctors began transmitting in High Definition on the BBC HD channel, where it is shown at 18:00.
