''[[Doctors]]'' is a British daytime [[Soap Opera]] set in a doctors' surgery. Debuted in 2000. It is set in the fictional Birmingham suburb of Letherbridge.
The setting of a GP's practice means that the series cast is based around 4 or 5 doctors, a nurse and a reception. The actual characters have had a fairly high turnover with most of the current cast only having a 1 or 2 year history on the show but the size of the cast keeps it to a similar sort of format with [[Two Lines, No Waiting]] for one line of plot dealing with some interpersonal problems between the doctors and another plot line often dealing with some [[Patient of the Week]]. These latter plot lines often opened themselves up for some topical issue taking up the [[Ripped from the Headlines|headlines]].

* [[World of Snark]]: Everyone is snarky on occasion, particularly Julia, Imogen and Zara.
* [[Worthless Foreign Degree]]: In this case, the more logical, Worthless Foreign Medical License for an Asian bus driver who saved the life of a boy on his bus, then feigned a lack of English to avoid getting in trouble for practicing without a licence. So they called in a translator, which led to a funny moment when she recognised him:
