THE DOCTOR BOOKS AND THE DOCTOR FILMS WEBSITE
Welcome to the Doctor Books and Films
Website!
Firstly and Foremostly,
I would like to give, some Credit, to the Author, of the original Doctor Books,
and co-contributor, to some, of the Doctor Films: Richard Gordon (Gordon
Stanley Ostlere), who was born, in 1921. He had been,
an Anaesthetist, at a big London Hospital, a Ship's Surgeon, and an Assistant
Editor of a Medical Journal. He had left Medical Practice in 1952, and he, had
started, writing his 'Doctor' Series. He had been, a Member of the Surrey
Cricket Club, and he, had been, married to a Doctor. They had Four Children,
together, and they, had lived, in a Victorian House, in South London.
RIP: Richard Gordon
aka: Gordon Stanley Ostlere (15th September 1921 - 11th August 2017).

Now, I don't really intend to do any reviews
of the Doctor Books and Films, because Barry himself, wasn't in them, but if I
do get the time, I may do short reviews of them, but it has to be said that the
best Doctor Films, are the Dirk Bogarde ones, but the
Doctor Films, without Dirk Bogarde, do have their
moments, but I will also stress this, that Doctor Michael Upton, who was the
Character Barry played in the two Doctor Films, was very loosely based on Simon
Sparrow, who was my all time favourite Doctor in the Doctor Series! And I have
only seen some of them, but in my opinion, Barry was: Doctor Michael Upton!
