Is there any B-lister, C-lister, or D-lister that hasn't been in this.


PMSL. Literally three quarters of British low-league actors whose profile I have looked at, have been in this.

Is this some rite of passage that jobbing B, C, and D-listers have to go through in the UK?

Doctors is the kind of show which has a high turnover of actors because of the different guest stories in each episode, so of course, many lesser-known thesps will have had a role on it. In the past, shows like The Bill were the jobbing-actor's haven in this country.

Not every little or unknown actor appearing on Doctors is a 'low-lister' - it's been a good place for new talent to showcase themselves. In a time where the schedules are saturated with reality series and such-like, continuing dramas like this provide a valuable opportunity for actors who are just starting out.

Exactly, Darkshines.

I think that Casualty is actually a worse offender!
