As a loyal viewer of the BBC's daytime soap "Doctors" for over 20 years, I am deeply saddened by the recent announcement of its cancellation. This show has been a staple of the BBC’s daytime schedule for more than two decades, providing entertainment and comfort to millions across the UK. The axing of this beloved series after 23 years is not just an end to another TV show - it represents a loss in our daily routines and shared cultural experiences.

The decision to cancel "Doctors" comes despite its consistent performance in ratings. According to Broadcasters' Audience Research Board (BARB), "Doctors" regularly attracts over one million viewers per episode, demonstrating its enduring appeal among audiences.

We urge the BBC to reconsider this decision and keep "Doctors" on air. This long-running soap opera holds significant sentimental value for many viewers like me who have followed it through all these years. It is not just about preserving a TV show; it's about acknowledging and respecting what this series means to us - its loyal audience.

Please sign this petition if you believe that "Doctors" deserves another chance on our screens.
