Doctor in the House Ep 1 Why do you want to be a doctor

[@laifun2174]

After enjoying Mind your language tremendously, searched and came here to watch another side of Barry’s acting. Sad that he must have been sad and struggling in his later years. Bright and talented

[@evo5dave]

I remember loving this as a kid. Unlike most sitcoms of the time, it seems to have aged pretty well.

This was filmed in an actual hospital - Wanstead Hospital. As for the scripts, they were written by Graham Chapman who studied medicine at Emmanuel College, Cambridge and Graeme Garden (who QUALIFIED in medicine) also wrote the subsequent series Doctor At Large (which ran from February to September 1971 incidentally) and Doctor In Charge. Arguably, the Doctor series of sitcoms was the benchmark for future medical sitcoms.

Hello from New Zealand in early April 2023. I very much liked the comment you placed. Wonderful! I'm watching this for the first time. Brilliant. Best thing I've seen in ages.

[@XanafiedcatGaming]

I started watching Barry Evans in the series Mind Your Language and now watching this series. Barry Evans is a impressive actor! It was very sad reading about his death. If he had lived he could of been in a few series in the early 2000's and we could use more actors with his kind of talent these days.

[@ryanrodrigues6127]

99% of people know him as Mr. Jeremy Brown and the remaining as Barry Evans.

I can't believe this is here, I came here after watching a video on top 25 British sitcoms, and wondering where this was! So I decided to type it in to see if at least someone might have some clips of it, never expecting to find full episodes though! I remember watching this as a kid in about 1980 or so, on CBC, a Canadian channel, from Michigan in the US! It and Doctor Who were my first taste of British tv! Funny that the head of them in this, played on Doctor Who as well,lol! I still can't believe I actually remembered each of the main characters names!

[@doraran2138]

Written by John Cleese and Graham Chapman! First saw this show in '90's. Surprising accurate in the inter-student relationships and situations with instructors, granted from a comedic perspective. Thank you for posting these.

[@salmaanahmad5414]

Adored this show. Watched it as a kid in UK and US. Always liked Duncan Waring. Stood next to Richard O’Sullivan on the tube was tempted say (like Loftus) “Bingham!”

[@Lytton333]

This is excellent, pitched just right. The interview panel and lecture theatre scenes were great, particularly Ralph Michael and Ernest Clark as the irascible and sardonically weary top dogs.

[@29sophos]

Aww, I really loved watching all this series as a child, it was my treat, it was tea, bath , into the pyjamas and also shown on Sunday early evening. I feel so sad that many of the characters have died Especially Dr Upton [ Barry Evans] aged 53 in 1997 and ironically [ Robin Nedwell] also aged 53 in 1999.

Oh Blimey !! It's Mr.Brown ☺😮☺

Barry was a legend

[@sukoon2009]

On this day 54 years ago, July 12th 1969, the first episode of 'Doctor In The House' was screened on British television. 😊😊😊😊

[@armanidavincci]

the interview scenes are really awesome!!!lmao...

[@MrMrPremise]

One of the episodes John Cleese wrote for the the sequel series, Doctor at Large, was called No Ill Feeling!, and featured early versions of some of the characters who would later populate Fawlty Towers. The innkeeper and wife were based on a couple that ran an inn where the Monty Python cast and crew stayed while shooting exteriors in Torquay.

[@jessiejames7492]

prof loftus played his role very very well

[@tomsherwin7077]

Oh my god this hits the nail on the head for med school interviews :D

[@stefeniedavidmusic]

Used to watch this all the time in my mid-teens in Canada. I particularly enjoyed Loftus. Interesting to see Graham Chapman and John Cleese wrote it.

[@rememberingmiami]

This whole series was carried by our local PBS station, WPBT in Miami when I was in high school. My habit was to watch an episode every night before going to bed. Thank you for posting it. I never realized this first show was written by Graham Chapman and John Cleese of Monty Python. Python, Fawlty Towers and this show were basic fare on public television back in the seventies.

[@adamazri928]

Why is it that you want to become a doctor? Barry Evans: well, two reasons sir! The first reason is... Do you mind if I say the second reason first sir.. If you Insist.. Well the second reason is... Oh..I've just remembered the first reason sir! 🤣🤣🤣 Why he is soo damn cute and innocent lol

[@zepherius9997]

[@wordsmith52]

It was called 'youth'...

[@daniellethewonhoprotector2233]

Upton is the handsome, hardworking and kind one. Waring is the charming, genius without studying much and adorable. Collier is the playful and witty one. Stuart-Clark is the funny and sophisticated playboy. Bingham is the annoying, know-it-all one but you'll love him eventually.

[@frankcarmack1442]

I saw Doctor in the House on American tv on ABC affiliate channel 13 from Lynchburg,VA beamed into Roanoke VA via microwave relay. I think it was later shown on PBS in the 80s in Ohio. It always reminded me of Monty Python, whose Flying Circus was also broadcast on ABC channel 13. Great, irreverent tv.

Is my memory off, or was this aired very briefly in syndication in some US markets? I seem to recall it running locally in New York on WCBS-TV channel 2. It was definitely a local airing, not on the CBS network. It may also have been shown on the other TV stations CBS owned at that time: KNXT channel 2 in Los Angeles, WBBM-TV channel 2 in Chicago, WCAU-TV channel 10 in Philadelphia, and KMOX-TV channel 4 in St. Louis.

[@MrMrPremise]

May have been sold station by station, not to any complete group of stations in the larger markets. Seems some public and Group W stations ran it.

[@marcpuckett]

I saw DITH because it was broadcast in the Cincinnati area; no idea which station, however.

I wonder why they used the Upton name for Barry Evans' character when the name for the main protagonist in the films and radio shows was Sparrow. In the books Richard Gordon didn't use any name at all as the books were semi autobiographical (obviously they needed a name in Movies/Radio/TV)
