Doctor Doctor Review

The second episode of Doctor Doctor’s second series was pretty good. The episode moved things along very quickly. Ajax proposed to Hayley and she said yes. Also, it seems that Hugh has managed to get rid of Nora for the time being. Nevertheless, Penny seems eager to remain away from the small town. Now that the slate has been wiped clean, it is time to create some new drama.

I’ll be interested to see where the show goes from here. The episode scores a 7.5 out of 10. Catch up with previous recaps of Doctor Doctor now!
