Popular BBC soap Doctors has aired its final episode after being on air for 24 years. The cast of the soap shared their “sorrow and joy” as the credits of Doctors rolled which the BBC previously confirmed would end. The show was about the doctors and staff at a busy Midlands GP practice and has featured famous names including Emilia Clarke, Alison Hammond, Ruthie Henshall, Joe Pasquale, Eddie Redmayne and Sheridan Smith.
Doctors' final episode, titled One Day Like This, sees GPs Jimmi Clay (Adrian Lewis Morgan), and Al Haskey (Ian Midlane) threatening to resign over the machinations of doctor Graham Elton (Alex Avery) as nurse Ruhma Carter (Bharti Patel) deals with a woman going into labour who has been tied up.
