Production of daytime medical drama Doctors is to end, the BBC has announced.

After running for 23 years, the show had been affected by "super inflation in drama production", causing costs to rise significantly, the BBC said.

It said it had faced a choice on whether to re-invest in the Birmingham site where the show is made or finance new shows in the West Midlands.

The final episode will be aired in December 2024.


Wonder what will replace the 1:45pm slot on weekdays on BBC One. Did anyone ever watch Doctors at all?

I worked on it for a while in 2021. It's a shame to see it go, especially as it was a financial reason.

Can't see Casualty remaining on our screens as well in the near future.

It was intense but I'm glad I got the experience.

This was spring 2021 so COVID restrictions were still in full swing, plus I'm autistic and didn't really know what my needs were.

I watched it for a time whilst between jobs and sometimes watched when working from home but never really watched it continuously due to the time it was on.

I really expected Hollyoaks to go first though especially with it being taken off the main channel four.

I wonder if another channel will pick it up as it is still going to be on air another year yet.

I expected Hollyoaks too!! We did a poll recently on the next soap to be axed, and Docroes and Holkyaosk won it. Hollyoaks will be next.

Last week of filming this week with Friday being the last day.
Sad for the cast and crew losing their jobs and for the many fans of the show.
They have enough episodes in the can leading up to Christmas.

While I don't watch it myself it's a shame to see it get axed after been around so long.
