Médico de familia (Family Doctor) is a Spanish TV series produced by Globomedia for Telecinco. The series premiered at the end of 1995, to become the most popular Tuesday night show for four years and made Telecinco a popular national broadcaster. It has been adapted and broadcast in Germany, Belgium, Finland, Italy, Portugal and Russia, among other countries. Its Italian adaptation surpassed it in episodes and is still being broadcast.
It follows the life and struggles of a young doctor, Dr. Nacho Martín (Emilio Aragón) a widower who was left with three sons and an adolescent nephew in his charge and is trying to rebuild his family life.
Another main character is his sister-in-law (played by Lydia Bosch) whom he ends up marrying in a second marriage and who gives birth to twins. Other important characters are Julio, his best friend, his cousin Alfonso, and also his colleagues at the health center.
The series recounts Dr. Martín's family, personal and professional struggles. He lives with his father and a domestic assistant, Juani (Luisa Martín) and they create the rhythm of his daily family life.
Médico de familia has been one of the few TV series that marked a turning point in Spanish TV fiction and became one of the most followed during its five-year broadcast, together with Cuéntame cómo pasó, Farmacia de guardia, 7 vidas, Los Serrano, Aquí no hay quien viva and Aída.
Starring Emilio Aragón, who made his debut as a television actor in this production, and Lydia Bosch, the series ran on Telecinco between 1995 and 1999.
