It is sad news that Doctors will come to an end in December 2024; however, we would like to clarify that the decision to cancel the show is not based on low figures, as we have consistently enjoyed a strong viewership, and we are deeply grateful..
We are one of the largest employees of actors in the country. We have over 800 guests artists a year, which means we support the thriving acting community.
This also means we've been the launch pad for some very famous faces....

Need something to look forward to? This week, we will be able to confirm our return date!
(We know there's been some speculation... but nothings been confirmed yet!)
This doesn't happen very often - all of our regular cast (and returning cast member Diane Keen) gathered in the same place to shoot a scene together.
We had to take a picture to mark the moment!
We are still busy filming exciting new episodes (in safe and creative ways) and will be back later in the year. We'll be bringing you updates as soon as we can. What are you most looking forward to storywise?
Doctors goes prime time!
From Monday 7th March Doctors will be repeated from Monday to Thursday on BBC2 at 7pm.
BBC Studios’ continuing drama chief Kate Oates said that a 7pm time slot "gives a whole new audience chance to enjoy the drama in Leatherbridge."
2/2
for the enduring support of our dedicated audience. We are proud of the incredible work by the cast and crew over the 23 years that the audience has come to know and love.

Remembering Anita Carey, a gifted actress who breathed life into the beloved character Vivien March, a character that resonated with so many and showcased her exceptional talent and passion, her legacy remains etched in the hearts of all.
It's August 2, which means only one month until Doctors returns on Monday, September 2! Just one month until we find out what has been going through Zara's mind all summer...

Doctors may be off air until September, but the cast and crew are still hard at work. We've got plenty of shocks and surprises coming up for later in the year. What do you think is happening to Jimmi in these behind the scenes pics?
It's Friday! Cast your mind back to June 2017 and a big day for everyone at The Mill as Heston and Ruhma tied the knot. Do you remember what else happened that day?
Spoiler alert! Wondering how Bear aka Dex Lee got so close to do CPR on Lenny? The actor playing Lenny had a body double, and that double was.... Dex's Dad! Who he is in a bubble with.
In Doctors on Friday - a very special episode as the staff of The Mill deal with the pressures of the lockdown.
Shot by the cast on their phones, this 45 minute episode is our last before the summer break.
