This past year at my job, I was moved into a new office with a private conference room. When I am completing paperwork after hours or if I come in on the weekend, I have been using the room's Roku TV's "Live TV" function to watch some free Roku channels. One channel that has captivated me completely, containing the perfect "work along" show, is Doctors, the longest-running love-action British TV show.
It's an equal mix of medical Grey's Anatomy drama, with The Office-type antics, but also a random focus on characters of extended relation to the main cast via the local police station, other medical offices, etc. The characters aren't particularly memorable, but there are so many of them; it's like a soap opera universe. I don't pay attention to much of what's going on, but it keeps me focused on the more tedious work I don't like doing.
Anyways, I've become invested in the show now and am curious about others' thoughts on it. While I will not run back the entire 20-year catalog, I would like to see some episodes from 2005 when the Jimmy psychiatrist doctor began his run on the show. Any notable arcs I should check out? Is there a Doctors subreddit I could check out?
Maybe I'll make some fan edits and kickstart the online community myself.

It's a day time soap. Made for people at home ill for work or the unemployed.
It's also not the longest running anything.
