'''''Doctor at the Top''''' is a British television comedy series based on [[Doctor (novel series)|a set of books]] by [[Richard Gordon (English author)|Richard Gordon]] about the misadventures of a group of doctors.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/aug/15/richard-gordon-obituary|title=Richard Gordon obituary|first=Dennis|last=Barker|date=15 August 2017|work=The Guardian}}</ref> With episodes written (though not jointly) by [[George Layton]] and [[Bill Oddie]], the series follows directly from its predecessor ''[[Doctor Down Under (TV series)|Doctor Down Under]]'', eleven years earlier. It was produced by the [[BBC]] and broadcast on [[BBC One|BBC1]] in 1991.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.britishclassiccomedy.co.uk/doctor-at-the-top|title=Doctor at the Top|date=16 March 2019}}</ref>

In this series the lead characters have all progressed in their careers: Waring and Collier are now surgeons, and Stuart-Clark is a professor.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.phill.co.uk/comedy/doctor6/|title=Doctor at the Top (Summary)|website=phill.co.uk}}</ref>

The series was not as well received as its predecessors and was cancelled after one series. According to Layton, it "depressed the whole nation", and Oddie dubbed it "Doctor Down The Drain".<ref>''This Is Your Life: Bill Oddie'', BBC 2002</ref>
