Doctor At Sea
 Saucy
goings-on on the old briny formed the fourth part of the Doctor
series when Dick Stuart-Clark (Geoffrey Davies) gets the sack from
St Swithin's Hospital and Duncan Waring (Robin Nedwell) resigns in
protest.
The two friends then take jobs as ship's doctors on the
cruise liner MS Begonia.
To their horror, they discover that the vessel is commanded by
Captain Loftus (Ernest Clark), twin brother of their old
Professor.
David Jason appeared in one episode as a young stowaway
Spaniard called Manuel Sanchez.
The original movie version of Doctor At Sea was made in
1955. Prior to this, author Richard Gordon had adapted his
original story for a BBC radio programme, broadcast on the Home
Service in 1953 with David Kossoff, David King-Wood, Norman
Shelley and John Laurie in the key roles.
