TPTV seem to have a season of these on a Sunday Evening.
Last week they had Doctor at Sea and Doctor in Love is on now from 1960.
Such an incredible cast including Michael Craig and Leslie Phillips as the main characters..
Irene Handl playing to her best plus Joan Sims, Liz Frazer and loads of uncredited actors who went on to other things.
Plus of course the incredibly sexy Fenella Fielding.
Lots of comedy cliches from the time but an enjoyable film.
I just read the story about one of the stars Virginia Maskell. Such a sad story.
I know of her from Only Two Can Play and she committed suicide.
The Doctor films don't do much for me.
Doctor in Clover now on TPTV.
What an incredible cast.

(Why the name change on imdb?)
Doctor in Distress. Again an incredible cast.
Johnny Briggs, Richard Briers, Fenella Fielding, Amanda Barrie, Leo McKern, Bill Kerr, Samantha Eggar, Ronnie Barker, Christopher Beeny, Denise Coffey, Michael Flanders etc.
Is this the same "Hospital" as used in the Carry On films?
Quote: Chappers @ 18th July 2021, 8:12 PMIs this the same "Hospital" as used in the Carry On films?
The interior hospital scenes in the Carry On films were shot in Pinewood Studios itself. The exterior shots of the hospitals in Doctor and Again Doctor were Maidenhead Town Hall. Matron used Heatherwood Hospital, Ascot and Nurse used Heatherden Hall within the grounds of Pinewood Studios (which was also used for the finishing school for young ladies in Camping).
I am not that familiar with the Doctor films but Maidenhead Town Hall wasn't built until 1962 so couldn't have been used for the earlier films in the series but. on checking IMDB, it would appear that it was used as a filming location in Doctor In Clover ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060321/locations?ref_=tt_dt_loc ) and in Doctor in Distress
( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057004/locations?ref_=tt_dt_loc ) but whether as the exterior of the hospital or not I don't know. Quite possibly. The interior shots of the hospital in Clover, as you will see from the above link, was Wexham Park Hospital, Slough.
Yes it was the externals I wondered about.
Vague memories of watching one with Bob Monkhouse. I mean, with him in the film.

I think you're confusing doctors and dentists there!
A dangerous mistake!
Yeah, you're right.
Gillian Anderson went to the dentist for an extraction. The tooth is out there.

Molar & Scully?
They've had their wisdom extracted too.
