Pants on Fire

(copyright BBC)

When Elaine manages to get two of her sisters together, a whole series of ridiculous lies come to light. But when their respective husbands also make an appearance, can Elaine manage to keep a lid on the truth?

13:45, BBC1, Thursday 29th. And for a week thereafter on iPlayer.

This one's directed by Dr Heston Carter himself, Owen Brenman, taking a hand behind the camera.

Sam likes the title.

Kevin, Kevin, Kevin...

As it says on the BBC Doctors Website, "Kevin's dream date turns into a nightmare when he realises that he has inadvertently invited two girls. Will he have the courage to do the right thing, or will his avoidance of the truth get him into even greater trouble?"

Just about tells you the whole plot.

But what it doesn't say, and what's much more exciting, is that it's got Alice in it. You know...

Alice. Off Casualty. AKA Sam Grey.

Actually, I have to say that I wasn't at all sure about this episode when I handed it in. But I love it. Sometimes even the dodgiest scripts can sparkle when the actors and crew really pull out the stops. Which I think they do. Kevin and Jack are great, but there's a truly wonderful guest cast - Sam Grey, Richard Hurst, Lorna Want and, especially, Daisy Aitkens - and a great director in the person of Richard Signy.

The Man

More fun with the Letherbridge doctors - Thursday 10 November at 13:45 on BBC1.

Fatshe Leno La Rona

It's all getting rather heavy in Doctors - murder, rotting corpses, police interviews etc etc.

So, pop along to Friday's episode for some fun and games with Mrs Tembe (oh, and another serial killer).
