Although each of its predecessors had long runs, Doctor at Sea was limited to a single series of thirteen episodes.[3] It has been suggested[where?] that only one series was to be produced as costs for this series were a lot higher than previous programmes.[citation needed]
Writers for the Doctor at Sea episodes were Richard Laing, George Layton, Jonathan Lynn, Bernard McKenna, Gail Renard and Phil Redmond.[4][5][6]
