  1. Trick answer! A woefully under-appreciated sitcom starring Matt “Max Headroom” Frewer! (Not to mention the underappreciated Julius “Lord Bowler” Carry!)

    (Murmur is/was a medical doctor? Just when I think that Johns can’t get anymore pathological…)

  2. The phrase “mad gynecologist” is one you just don’t run across outside of comics that often.

  3. Other trick answer: I believe there was a Doctor Doctor in Simpsons comics (in which he is a comicbook character)

    And it’s Ludgate, not Ludget.

  4. Excellent quiz. I am full of shame that I had forgotten Dr. Druid’s name. I scored a six
    - Gym’ll. Love, Bromwell, Canus, Chapel and Two-Youngman.

  5. Doctor Doctor was also a US TV sitcom starring Matt Frewer, aka Max Headroom.

    That this came to mind so readily is pretty pathetic.
