I enjoyed today's episode, but it's a shame that sometimes the small budget, the short length and the tiny cast can turn 'Doctors' into 'Scooby Doo'. Where you have a story about a mysterious stranger in a nurse's uniform who came to the aid of a man 5 years ago, it's fairly inevitable that it's going to be the agency nurse who's suddenly started working at the Mill today. And when she starts talking about the nasty, abusive psychopath, that's also inevitably going to be the only other guest character. I was slightly upset that it didn't end with the nasty journalist being put in handcuffs and muttering: "I would have got away with it if it wasn't for that pesky Mrs Tembe."

And dare I say it, but Al is growing on me a bit. Still not sure what the point of the character is, or even if he's here for keeps, but I do find him intriguing...

As much as I don't like Al I found his scenes with Howard very funny!

The story of the day was interesting even if it was a bit 'Scooby-Doo'.
