After 23 years on air, the BBC has announced the decision to bring an end to the popular daytime drama series ‘Doctors’. The decision comes as the BBC faces funding challenges and the cost of producing the show has significantly increased.
In a statement, the BBC cited the rising inflation in drama production costs as one of the main reasons behind the decision. Additionally, further investment would be required to refurbish the site where the show is currently made or to relocate it to another location. With a flat license fee, the BBC has had to make tough choices in order to deliver greater value to audiences.
