Yes, I know it could easily be put into the "car crash tv" category, but it's one of my guilty pleasures,
some small compensation for Mr P being away, as he can't bear it!
However the more I watch it, the more aware I become of some of the irritating habits of the presenters. Just in case any of them might read this (unlikely I admit) I would like to given them the following non-medical advice.
Dr Christian, yes, you obviously worked hard on your physique and probably do have the toned torso of a Greek God, but don't you think that perhaps the time has come to buy slightly bigger shirts? The sight of the fabric straining across your chest is starting to become a bit of a worry. I fear that if you were to cough, a button might detach itself with some force, and you could have someones eye out.
Also, please re-think your hand shake. Presenting it from the shoulder the way you do could leave the intended recipient in some doubt as to whether you are offering a greeting or practicing your front crawl stroke prior to entering a swimming gala.
Dr Dawn , dear, I know this might be hard to take, but you are a GROWN WOMAN" ! That little nose crinkling thing that you do when you smile probably was very endearing when you had your hair in bunches, wore ankle socks and were trying to get daddy to buy you a puppy, but enough is enough.
Dr Pixie Generally speaking you seem like a good egg, a bit poo fixated but then I suppose that goes with the territory. Is that really your name?

Love it, must watch again to see, when is it next on? 
phoenix very funny!
Has Dr Christian still got that awful, old-fashioned 'curtains' hairstyle?
He really does fancy himself, doesn't he?
I think Embarrassing Fat Bodies may be on tonight, the ordinary (?!) one was on last night, but I think it was a repeat. It does seem to pop up on various channels at various times!
I do wish I was better able to explain the thing Dr Christian does when he shakes hands (he seems to do it more when shaking hands with men) I have been sitting here doing the actions, but it doesn't really help, does it? 
Ana I don't think he has changed his hairstyle so probably to your first point and definitely to your second.
I remember him on the Mary Portas hotel thing, and that cleaning woman (Kim, Aggie, whowever) was all over him in a really physical way. (Yuk emoticon)
I thought to myself, "Yes, my girl, won't do you much good though, will it!"

Yes, I gather he is gay. I don't find him at all attractive facially and agree with comments re the tight shirt, and the interaction with Kim Woodburn was so cringeworthy!
The patients featured on those programmes must be paid huge amounts, otherwise who would want to show their embarrassing bodies?
Is Dr Christian gay? Never gave it any thought,I just find him creepy and wouldn't want him examining any of my internal workings thank you.
Dr Pixie is like a dose of thrush......irritating,and Dawns gurning is quite good,the real stars of the show are the public who bare their souls and the the rest of their bodies on screenI am too busy being amazed at someone wanting to bare all in public and lurch between feeling compassion for some and the giggles at others....I like one born every minute ...xxx
I only watched 'One born every minute' once. Do those women really have to scream such a lot? It didn't happen in my day!
I do remember getting quite forceful with a nurse or trainee midwife type person. I think I said something like "if you put that something something damp flannel anywhere near my something something forehead again I will something something something"
