What happens

Doctor on the Go is a British television comedy series, the fifth 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 directly from its predecessor Doctor at Sea as Duncan Waring and Dick Stuart-Clark finish their cruise ship jobs and return to the familiar surroundings of St. Swithin's hospital. It was the final series to be produced by London Weekend Television. The two series ran from 1975 to 1977. Writers for the Doctor on the Go episodes included Bernard McKenna, Rob Buckman, Richard Laing, George Layton, Jonathan Lynn, Steve Thorn and Paul Wolfson. One episode ("For Your Own Good") was co-written by Douglas Adams and Graham Chapman. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
