Oh no, we are not ready for this! Brace yourselves, because we are about to reveal some major spoilers for the final episode of the beloved daytime medical drama, Doctors.
Take a deep breath, because last year, the BBC announced that they would be cancelling the show after 23 years on the air. It was a tough decision, but according to a statement released at the time, the rising production costs and funding challenges made it necessary to end the show. The show's location also needed refurbishment or relocation, which would require further investment. With limited resources, the BBC had to make the difficult choice to prioritize delivering value to their audiences.
But fear not, the BBC remains committed to the West Midlands, where the show is filmed, and all the funding from Doctors will be reinvested into new programming in the region. The producers also expressed their gratitude to the cast and crew who have been a part of the show since 2000.
Now, onto the final episodes. Originally scheduled to air in December, they were actually filmed back in March. Director Niall Fraser even asked fans not to gather outside the production base in Selly Oak, Birmingham, as they wrapped up filming. And just recently, Niall gave an update that the last episode has been moved up to next month, on November 14th to be exact. There was initially a planned break with the final episode airing on December 5th, but that has been cancelled.
The show finished filming earlier this year and the final episode will air in mid-November. As for what we can expect in the last episode, a few spoilers have been revealed on the BBC website for Doctors. It seems like there will be some turmoil for Rob as Ruhma gets herself into trouble, Graham's partnership is at risk, and Scarlett is not in a celebratory mood on her birthday. The episode is titled "One Day Like This", which feels like a poignant and fitting choice for the finale of a beloved show.
The episode was written by Peter Lloyd, produced by Simon J Curtis, and directed by Niall Fraser.

Earlier this month, former Casualty star and Doctors guest actress Cathy Shipton spoke out against the BBC's decision to cancel the show. She shared her disappointment with TV Times, saying that it was a shame and a shock, and that it was a mistake to take it off the air. She also pointed out the impact the show has had on the industry, with many young directors, writers, and actors getting their start on shows like Doctors. The crew members who work on the show also rely on it for their livelihoods, and the cancellation affects them and their families as well.
