About
The Doctors is a British television drama produced by the BBC. A twice-weekly broadcast from November 1969 to June 1971, it was a highly authentic, serious medical drama set in a North London group practice, aiming to depict realistic medical environments without the antiseptic sentimentality often seen in American medical shows of the era.
