Doctor series

The Doctor novels are a series of 15 comic novels by British physician Richard Gordon, covering the antics of a group of young doctors. They were published between 1952 and 1986.

The seven Doctor films were developed from the books, directed by Ralph Thomas and produced by Betty Box. The early films featured Dirk Bogarde in the lead as Doctor Sparrow and Donald Sinden as Benskin. Later films starred Leslie Phillips. The first film came in 1954 and the last in 1970.

The films inspired in turn to seven different Doctor television series between 1969 and 1991, totalling 157 thirty-minute episodes:
