Show: Dr. Willoughby Season/Volume: 1 Genre: Comedy Starring: Joanna Lumley, Brian Protheroe, Isobel Middleton, Paula Bacon Studio: Acorn Media Runtime: 144 minutes Release Date: January 3, 2012 Format: DVD Discs: 1 Rating: ( )Grade: A Dr. Willoughby, brilliant surgeon and main character of the (completely fictional) daytime drama of the same name. Donna Sinclair (Lumley) stars as the incorrigible, manipulative, self-centered diva-actress-doctor who is also brilliantly hilarious at the same time. She finds a way to make every situation about her and dismisses her cast mates' problems aside like yesterday's script. She's clearly in charge on this set and won't let anyone forget it. Funny thing is, that the cast and crew can't seem to make their little drama work if Donna's away ("Speculation"). Codependant? Maybe, but this cast is completely lovable. Even Donna herself, for all of her manipulative back-stabbing (most of which back fires), is a genuinely-sympathetic character that will win over viewers. "Dr. Willoughby" would not be what it is without its crack-pot team of endearing characters who love and loathe Donna at the same time.
The entire series consists of six-episodes which aired from November 14 - December 13, 1999. Each episode is filled with quick-witted one liners and dead pan humour that may be lost on those not accustomed to British sitcoms. It's well worth devoting your undivided attention. A fun, fantastic comedy from 1999! |
