Doctor in Trouble is a 1970 film and the seventh/final of the Doctor... Series. It stars Leslie Phillips, Harry Secombe, James Robertson Justice, Angela Scoular, Irene Handl, Simon Dee, Robert Morley, Freddie Jones, Joan Sims, John Le Mesurier, and Graham Stark.Dr. Tony Burke (Phillips) is working as a duty doctor when famous TV doctor - and Dr. Burke's childhood rival - Basil Beauchamp (Dee) is admitted for what he claims to be acute appendicitis. Sir Lancelot Spratt (Justice) believes that Basil is suffering from overworking and arranges for him to go on a cruise on the Golden Horn, which his brother Captain George Spratt, RNR, (Morley) captains with help from the Master-at-Arms, Humphrey (Jones), and the Purser (Le Mesurier).Dr. Burke accidentally becomes a stowaway on the same ship when trying to follow the lovely Ophelia O'Brien (Scoular) so he can propose to her. Other passengers are Llewellyn Wendover (Secombe) who has recently won the football pools; Mrs. Dailey (Handl), who hopes to find a husband for her daughter, Dawn (Janet Mahoney); and Roddy (Graham Chapman), the photographer for Ophelia and the other models.The Master-at-Arms finds out that Dr. Burke is a stowaway, and after some hijinks involving Dr. Burke being Disguised in Drag as Miss Lavinia Edna Paxenbury, he is caught and ordered by Captain Spratt to serve as his personal steward, which he does so, now sharing a cabin with friendly Indian steward Satterjee (Stark). When he tricks Dr. Houston (Jimmy Thompson) into believing he has come down with Hepatitis Africonia, he is unable to work and Dr. Burke takes up the mantle of ship's doctor, meaning when a Russian Captain (Sims) requests emergency aid for a Russian trawlerman (Yuri Borienko) on the Drobny suffering from acute appendicitis, it is up to Dr. Burke to play the hero and save the day as Hilarity Ensues. | |

Mistaken Identity: Apon their first meeting, Wendover mistakes Basil for both an actor who played a lodger in Coronation Street and an actor who appeared in a false teeth advert. When claiming Thomas shouldn't try to pick up Mélisse as he's old enough to be her father, he pointedly replies that he is her father, much to Wendover's embarrassment. | |

When Dr. Burke sprints away from the Master-at-Arms in a scene set to a tinkly piano variant of the film's theme. When Dr. Burke escapes from the Master-at-Arms in his vest and Y-fronts before climbing into an air pipe to hide. | |

| Doctor in Trouble / int_32da91b8 | comment |
Out of Focus: This film has the least screen time for Sir Lancelot in the entire Doctor... Series, as he stays behind at the hospital while Dr. Burke goes off on the Golden Horn. James Robertson Justice was originally supposed to be Acting for Two as both Sir Lancelot and Captain Hogg to give him more to do, but after a nasty stroke, he was no longer well enough to play both parts and only barely had enough strength to film the few scenes he was in. | |

Rule of Pool | |
| Doctor in Trouble / int_36ec2454 | comment |
Rule of Pool: When Captain Spratt tries to announce a lifeboat drill, Wendover is trying to undo Dawn's bra at the same time. Captain Spratt tells Wendover to cut out the horseplay, so he shoves him, and he bumps into Dawn, who lurches forward but is pulled back by the elastic of her bra strap (still being held by Wendover) and bumps into Wendover, who in turn knocks into Captain Spratt and sends him falling into the pool. Basil and Roddy try to pull him out until they hear the emergency bell. Because Captain Spratt never got to announce it was only a drill, they (and all the other passengers) panic and drop Captain Spratt into the pool again. Satterjee then tries to help him out but isn't strong enough and Captain Spratt is dropped in once again, while Satterjee follows shortly after when Basil takes him down with him after he loses a scuffle with Dr. Burke over who gets the only lifejacket. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Doctor in Trouble / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The doctor Basil plays on TV, Dr. Dare, is based on Dr. Kildare. Wendover mistakes Basil for an actor who played a lodger in Coronation Street. A woman at the Captain's table remarks she likes that nice Scottish doctor, referring to Dr. Finlay from Dr. Finlay's Casebook. When he mistakenly believes Mélisse was flirting with him at breakfast, Wendover remarks he's seen "that Tom Jones film". Satterjee tries to improve his English accent by repeating "The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plains" and "In Hertford, Hereford, Hampshire, hurricanes hardly happen". After hearing the Indian music Satterjee plays, Dr. Burke calls it "Top of the Poppadoms". At Captain Spratt's fancy dress ball, Dr. Burke dresses up as Julius Caesar, Audrey dresses up as Cleopatra VII and a background passenger can be seen dressed as Pagliacci. When talking about Dawn's dancing, Mrs. Dailey mentions that she's very good at "the Victor Sylvester bit". A picture of Vladimir Lenin is visible when Dr. Burke is about to operate on the sick Russian. | |

Non-Fatal Explosions: Dr. Burke is inside an air pipe when a fiery explosion erupts from it, only for him to suffer no ill effects aside from becoming covered with ash. | |

Adaptation Name Change | |
| Doctor in Trouble / int_dc057cf3 | comment |
Adaptation Name Change: While the film's main character is Dr. Burke, Doctor on Toast had focused on Dr. Grimsdyke. However, Leslie Phillips had previously played both characters (who were basically the same with a different name) in Doctor in Love and Doctor in Clover, so the change wasn't too jarring to watch. | |

Mrs. Dailey calls Dawn "Dawny", "Poopsie", and "Bubba". When Disguised in Drag as Lavinia, Dr. Burke tries to get the Master-at-Arms to give him one to help sell the illusion that he is a woman: | |

Crossover: Although unnamed in the film, the doctor who Dr. Burke chats to early on at the hospital is supposed to be Dick Stuart-Clark from Doctor in the House. Furthering the connection to the series, Yutte Stensgaard (Eve) played Helga in a few episodes, while Graham Chapman (Roddy) was one of the writers. | |

Big Damn Heroes: When Ophelia falls overboard, everyone clamors over the railing to see her, and Dr. Burke is knocked overboard too. As Dr. Burke is unable to swim, Ophelia comes to his rescue and manages to get them both back on the ship, where she attempts to give him the kiss of life. When a Russian trawlerman on the Drobny requires a lifesaving appendicectomy, Dr. Burke is sent over to the ship risking his own life travelling via breeches buoy despite the fact he cannot swim, and performs the operation to great success. | |
