Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Doctors was BBC's longest-running current affairs soap until its 2024 cancellation, outlasting multiple prime ministers who probably watched it.
The show's Birmingham-adjacent setting made it rare British TV that didn't treat the Midlands as a punchline — Letherbridge felt lived-in, not laughed-at.
