British sitcom (ITV, 1974)
Doctor at Sea is a British television comedy series based on a set of books by Richard Gordon about the misadventures of doctors at sea.[1] The series followed directly from its predecessor Doctor in Charge, and was produced by London Weekend Television in 1974.[2]
Although each of its predecessors had long runs, Doctor at Sea was limited to a single series of thirteen episodes.[3] It has been suggested[where?] that only one series was to be produced as costs for this series were a lot higher than previous programmes.[citation needed]
Writers for the Doctor at Sea episodes were Richard Laing, George Layton, Jonathan Lynn, Bernard McKenna, Gail Renard and Phil Redmond.[4][5][6]
