background
The series, which has been produced by BBC Birmingham since 2000, is continuously broadcast on BBC One . However, unlike other British soap operas, there were long interruptions during the summer months until 2007. The series was originally filmed in the BBC's " Pebble Mill Studios" in Edgbaston . But in the fourth year of the series shoot, the Pebble Mill Studios were closed and so the production moved to the " BBC Drama Village site" in Selly Oak . Other parts of the program, for example the police station, have since been filmed on the BMS World Mission site, also known as the IMC International Mission Center, at 24 Weoley Park Road in Selly Oak . The Doctors series is the only British soap opera in which each episode is given a separate title.
Since February 16, 2009, Doctors has been shown in high definition on the BBC HD Channel at 6 p.m.
The soap opera has an audience rating between 1.5 and 2 million viewers, with an audience rating of over 25% per episode. But since 2009 Doctors has increased its share, and the program is now watched by 3.5 million television viewers per episode. This corresponds to an audience rating of 50% per episode.
