The team behind the popular daytime soap are also celebrating this week after it was nominated for an international award.

Doctors has been shortlisted in the 'Melodrama' category at the BANFF World Media Awards in Calgary, Canada. The show will compete against entries from Canada, Norway, Brazil, South Korea and Hong Kong.

It seems to be doing well outside of the UK and that's not bad for a daytime soap.

I agree. Because Doctors is daytime people think it's tame but actually they get away with more than the prime-time soaps do.

It can be gritty and has some great cast members too. They have some big name guest stars as well.

Shows up the judges in domestic awards I think if Doctors has been nominated for an international award while other british soaps/programmes haven't?

I dunno. Strictly,Dr who,Sherlock,Call the Midwife and Downton are massive in Other Countries. But they are all on a far bigger budget and have had great promotion and good time slot. Doctors hasn't. I think it's Canada &New Zealand, where Doctors is very popular.

Strictly aside, the rest of them are "proper" drama's that get an hours worth of coverage unlike Doctors that is a soap/part drama and about 27 minutes of coverage.

If Doctors has been nominated and other programmes haven't, I think it does highlight that Doctors does not get nowhere near the credence it should by the "experts" even in the UK.

That's great news! I don't always get the time to watch Doctors, but I always enjoyed it and I think it's so under appreciated by the BBC. I don't know why they've never given it an evening slot - especially when it's so popular in the daytime.

I agree. A nice bit of promotion would go a long way too.

Good, I don't follow it, but when I have seen it it looks very well done
