What happens

Doctor at Sea is a British television comedy series, the fourth of seven series in a franchise that began with Doctor in the House and was inspired by the "Doctor" books by Richard Gordon. The series follows Duncan Waring and Dick Stuart-Clark from its predecessor Doctor in Charge as they leave their jobs at St. Swithin's and sign on as ship's physicians on a Mediterranean cruise ship. It was produced by London Weekend Television in 1974. Although each of its predecessors had longer runs, Doctor at Sea was limited to a single series of thirteen episodes. Writers for the Doctor at Sea episodes were Richard Laing, George Layton, Jonathan Lynn, Bernard McKenna, Gail Renard and Phil Redmond. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
