What happens

Doctor at Large is a British television comedy series, the second of seven series in a franchise that began with Doctor in the House and was inspired by the "Doctor" books by Richard Gordon. It was produced by London Weekend Television in 1971. Writers for the Doctor at Large episodes were Bill Oddie, Graeme Garden, John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Bernard McKenna, Geoff Rowley, Andy Baker, Jonathan Lynn and David Yallop, as well as George Layton (under the pseudonym of "Oliver Fry"). The episode "No Ill Feelings" written by John Cleese is now seen as a prototype for Cleese's later series Fawlty Towers. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
