wdmmosley What a great show/series!! Spell binding and time flies. The story lines are wonderful and cannot say enough about the actors. Thanks for such wonderful time.

pensman Yes it pulls at the heart and yes it has some wonderful humor of situation and yes with only three short five episode seasons it's just way too short. Prem Sharma, Sanjeev Bhaskar, arrives from India with his wife, Kamini. His wife, who is accustomed to a comfortable life in India replete with servants and mixing with the best people, is horrified to see her new home in South Wales. The town is a backwater replete with the usual cast of idiosyncratic British oddballs--think Doc Martin ( Martin Clunes) and the inhabitants of Portwenn. If the first series, Prem must fight for the hearts and minds of the locals against a rapacious mine supervisor in the form of Richard Sharpe, Mark Williams (think Harry Potter and Father Brown). Prem must also fight against some inner demons arising from the loss of his daughter in India. And, yes he is successful. But he must endures gossip about a non existent "relationship" with Megan Evans (whose husband is dying of emphysema), the gossip of a busybody shopkeeper, and shenanigans of Dan Griffiths the local child hooligan. The second season centers around a smallpox outbreak; and the third, about bringing the sleepy town into the swinging 60's big time. Every member of the cast rings true and you cheer for the good guys and want to hiss the villains. Only downside here is just three short seasons.

Sachin Goel After reading so many views about this serial I thought I should also write my view for the first time. I am really excited to tell you that this serial is perfection of every TV stuff I have ever seen. Director did a perfect job by choosing an excellent casting and live the roles incredible as real as I am watching them in my neighbor. Doctor Prem now lives in my heart. Their are 5 episode in each season. Doctor who came first time in English speaking country with his royal standard wife who always complain and try to find way to get rid of the place. I hope I will see more seasons in coming years Cheers for giving so amazing life of past with excellent music and varieties. Greetings

schnappi_croc I loved this programme! The casting is excellent, from the doctor and his wife, to the receptionist and her boyfriend, to the mine boss and his wife, to the miners, to Dan, the little boy.There is no shortage of subplots in this series. We meet a supercilious mine boss with his pathetic wife. We meet a young receptionist in her search for love. We meet an Indian doctor and wife who are newly-arrived in a small Welsh village, suffering the difficulties of fitting into a new culture, and the townspeople who, in many ways do not know what to make of the foreigners. In addition, a young boy and his father are struggling with life with little money and troubles of their own.The music in this series is of its time. Excellent choices of music run throughout, adding to the authenticity of the series.I recommend The Indian Doctor highly, and hope that the BBC sees fit to continue it. There are many loose ends left to tie up!
