Doctors is a British daytime television soap opera, which started in 2000. It is produced by BBC Birmingham and screened on BBC One. It tells the story of the staff at the fictional Mill Health Centre. It originally starred Christopher Timothy (who made his name as James Herriot in the series All Creatures Great and Small) as Dr. Brendan McGuire from the series' inception until he left in May 2006.
The series was different to the other British soaps in that, prior to 2007, it took lengthy breaks in transmission over the summer. This year, however, there has been no summer break. It was originally filmed at the BBC's Pebble Mill studios in Edgbaston, Birmingham. However, four years into the show's life Pebble Mill was closed down so the soap moved to the BBC Drama Village site in Selly Oak. Portions of the show involving the police station are filmed at the BMS World Mission premises known as IMC International Mission Centre at 24 Weoley Park Road in Selly Oak.
On Monday 26 November 2007, Doctors moved from its 14:05 slot to the earlier time of 13:40, replacing Neighbours, which is now broadcast on Five.
On Monday 11 February 2008, Doctors moved from its 13:40 slot to the later time of 13:45, replacing Neighbours, which is now broadcast on Five.
