Doctor in the House is a British television comedy series 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.[1] It was produced by London Weekend Television from 1969 to 1970.[2]
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.[2] The series was directed by David Askey and Maurice Murphy among others and the producer was Humphrey Barclay.[3][4] The external establishing shots were of Wanstead Hospital, London (now Clock Court).[5]
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.
