Countries where The Young Doctors has been screened include Trinidad, Barbados, Angola, the Netherlands, France, Canada and the UK.

The Young Doctors was a huge afternoon hit in the UK, often watched by millions of viewers.

The UK was also home to the Young Doctors Appreciation Society, which at its peak had over 8000 members.

The only character to appear in both the first and last episodes of the show was Dr Graham Steele (Tim page).

Unlike many soaps and serials, The Young Doctors filmed all scenes in chronological order.

In the early days, the studio where the show was filmed didn't even have air conditioning. In the summer, the actors' make-up would melt and run down their faces. The cameras would get so hot that they needed to have ice packs and cool towels placed on them to get them working again.

In earlier episodes, the Albert's exterior shots were filmed in a pretty unconvincing studio set. Later, Sydney's Greenwich Hospital was used for outside location shots. (continues here)
