Doctor in Your House / Doctor in the House

Two new shows, exactly the same.

BBC to revive five classic sitcoms.

I think the article has slightly overegged it. They've only commissioned scripts not the programmes. Afaik they'll only make 1 or 2 for the 60th celebration next Summer. There is also a live MRS....
