What happens
Doctor in the House is a British television comedy series loosely based on a set of books and a film of the same name by Richard Gordon about the misadventures of a group of medical students. It was produced by London Weekend Television from 1969 to 1970. The primary writers for the Doctor in the House episodes were Graeme Garden and Bill Oddie. There were also contributions from Graham Chapman, John Cleese, and Barry Cryer. The series was directed by David Askey and Maurice Murphy among others and the producer was Humphrey Barclay. The external establishing shots were of Wanstead Hospital, London (now Clock Court). It was the first series in a franchise which included six later series, using some of the same cast members and writers. The follow-up series was Doctor at Large. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
