5.0 out of 5 stars Sir John & Baby Doc Landlubbers Seabound !, 24 May 2008
DOCTOR AT SEA is good, personally I have always liked it as there are barrels of laughs to continually roll about in !
Whats different about this series is that its set at sea offering a change of scenery as opposed to the general hospital setting throughout the entire series run.
By now many of the original cast had gone off to other things most notable being Richard O'Sullivan at home in the hilarous sitcom 'Man About The House' and George Layton went on to the equally amusing 'It Ain't Half Hot Mum' and more televisual scripts.
Where to next for Waring and Stuart-Clark with many of the major leads having scarpered.
This induced a change of location for our 3 remaining originals moving away from St Swithins Hospital and setting sail out to sea.

The series opens with Professor Loftus sacking Stuart-Clark for pure negligence in his duties and Waring indignantly resigns in support of his old friend.
Tempers cooled Loftus then tries to persuade them to come back to St Swithins but is too late as they have both signed up as the Ship's surgeons on board the MS Begonia.
The opening story 'Sir John & Baby Doc' which sets up the series and is side splitting from start to finish as upon signing up Waring and Stuart-Clark mistakenly board the wrong vessel with hilarious results.
Finally thinking themselves free from the wrath of Loftus and expecting a relaxing easy going cruise only discover to their horror that the captain of the ship is commanded by none other than Captain Loftus(Ernest Clark),Professor Loftus's twin brother.
I know it sounds abit contrived but this is a time when this sort of thing worked because the actors where good making the characters believable.
Equally amusing is episode 3 'A Healthy Ship is a Happy Ship' as Stuart-Clark attempts to manipulate Waring to try and lead a mutiny in defence of the crew's right to take sick leave.

The TV comedy still works as there is great chemistry between the 3 leads Nedwell,Davies and Clark.
John Grieve who plays the camp Purser on board is an excellent new foil for Waring and Stuart Clark (having replaced the Bingham like character) and has taken an instant dislike to the Mischievous pair and does his best to manipulate situations to get them thrown off board.

Though some of the stories don't match some of the previous excellence in preceding series the majority do and the comedy has survived the test of time.
So sign up with Waring and Stuart-Clark and watch them walk the plank on many a occasion for 13 special episodes .

Written by George Layton (now writer formerly Collier),Richard Laing,Gail Renard,Bernard Mckenna,Jonathan Lynn(former character Hooley) and Phil Redmond.
