BBC One’s Doctors Returns to Filming

The BBC One daytime hit Doctors has returned to filming, with production having been on pause since March due to lockdown, other than a special episode in early June that was entirely self-shot by the cast at home on their mobile phones.

The Doctors’ production team at BBC Studios has developed comprehensive production protocols to ensure that the series is produced in a safe and responsible manner. Social distancing will be adhered to in accordance with current government guidelines.

Doctors follows Eastenders and Holby City as the third of BBC One’s continuing dramas for the BBC to go back into production. It will be back on screens later this year.

Mike Hobson, executive producer, said: “It’s been a long process of preparing the set, the crew and actors, to make sure we are working in the safest environment possible. We have been chomping at the bit to get back filming, especially as the audience loved our special Zoom episode.

“We are looking forward to picking up where we left off, and continuing to create great storylines full of humor while raising awareness of serious issues, and of course, creating a bit of drama!”
