The "Doctor In The House" series follows the misadventures of the Medical personnel at St Swithin's Teaching Hospital in London. The three principals were newly arrived and youthful Dr. Michael Upton, his newfound friend Duncan Waring, and perpetual malingerer Dick Stuart-Clark. Their nemesis was the crochety and ever put-upon Professor Loftus. The buys were constantly in trouble, whether hatching schemes or pranks, throwing up in anatomy class, or chasing the shapely nurses who populated St. Swithin's. "Doctor In The House" was originally a series of books popular in England in the early 105-s. The author, a newly graduated and bored Dr. Richard Gordon, wrote the first while he was a ship's doctor on a cargo vessel en rout to Australia. The books led to a hugely successful British series of movies starring Dirk Bogarde, and, around 170, to a London Weekend Television network series which became a national craze. |
