So just browsing through this weeks listings spotted on Tuesday C4 launch Doctor in Your House at 8pm.
And then on Thursday on BBC1:
Shows being a rip-off of other shows is nothing new at all, but to launch within two days of each other with practically the same name and seemingly the same format - that is somewhat unheard of. Might explain why C4 have moved The Secret Lives of 5 Year Olds to Thursdays to get a slightly bigger jump on the BBC version.

HEALTH: Doctor in Your House
On: Channel 4 (4)
Date: Tuesday 17th November 2015 (starting in 2 days)
Time: 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM (1 hour long)
When it comes to avoiding the GP, most of us have to plead guilty. We continue to put up with our daily ailments no matter how troublesome they become. But dodging the doctor might cause problems later and doesn't help the NHS, either. The problems we leave unattended, because we're too busy, don't want to bother the doctor, or are actually too scared to confront - can end up costing the NHS millions. But, for one busy family, the Whites, that's all about to stop. Not only is the doctor making a house call - he's staying. The family is about to get a medical like no other, as Dr Xand van Tulleken moves in for the weekend. From dad Dylan's snoring and cholesterol, to mum Nicky's blood pressure, and teen daughters Susannah and Natasha's skin, ear and hair worries, Dr Xand uncovers the truth about the family.

Medical documentary series. In each episode a family invites a GP into their home to investigate every aspect of their lives. The doctor is called in to help 48-year-old Priti, a working mother who is struggling with multiple problems including stress, headaches, weight gain and disrupted sleep. But, after staying over and living alongside the family, the doctor discovers that it's actually Priti's partner, 49-year-old Sandeep, whose health is seriously at risk. He has been living with diabetes for the last decade, but his blood sugar is out of control. It is a major challenge for the doctor. He needs to come up with a plan to transform the whole family's health by making simple, everyday lifestyle changes - involving every aspect of their lives, from the moment they wake up to the way they sleep at night. At the end of his intervention, the family undergo a series of tests to measure just how much impact the doctor has had on their health.
