As medical TV drama Doctors says farewell with its final episode later, a 9,000-signature petition to try to save it shows just how much it resonated with audiences.

However, in October last year, the BBC said it would be cancelled, after "super inflation in drama production" led to costs significantly rising.

Previously, writer and director Joy Wilkinson wrote: "I'd have left TV drama if it wasn't for this wonderful, warm and creative show."

The daytime drama has featured households names, including Eddie Redmayne and Sheridan Smith, and it has won a total of 17 Baftas.

Rather surprisingly, the obligatory face-to-face between Tyson and Paul ended without any drama, but there was already enough of that in the hour and half that preceded it.
