'Doctor On The Go' saw Duncan Waring and Dick Stuart-Clark back at St.Swithins, and once more under the watchful eye of Professor Sir Geoffrey Loftus.
New characters included the permanently inebriated Scot 'Andrew MacKenzie' ( played by future 'Terry & June' scriptwriter John Kane ), the conceited 'Bingham'-like 'James Gascoigne' ( the late Andrew Knox ), and 'Katherine Wright' ( the attractive Jacquie-Ann Carr ), who became Waring's regular girlfriend.
Of particular note is the episode 'For Your Own Good' which marked a welcome return to writing duties for Graham Chapman, who co-wrote it with the then-unknown Douglas Adams.
Two new writers were Rob Buckman and Chris Beetles, later to land a show of their own - the very funny ( and bizarrely forgotten ) 'The Pink Medicine Show'.
It was business as usual for the St.Swithins gang, even if they now looked a little long-in-the-tooth to be still chasing pretty nurses. In the final episode - 'Happy Ever After' - Waring and Kate announced marriage plans - only to abandon them at the very last minute.
Though the door was kept open for another series, L.W.T. turned off the life support machine on Richard Gordon's creation, concluding one of I.T.V.'s biggest ever comedy successes. Waring and Stuart-Clark would next be seen in 'Doctor Down Under', an Australian T.V. spin-off in 1979, and then in 1991 crossed channels for the disastrous 'Doctor At The Top'.
