Description "Doctor in the House" has been such a resounding success as book, picture, and play, that it already shows signs of becoming a hardy perennial of the calibre of "Charley's Aunt". In writing the stage play Ted Willis has used none of the subtleness of the novel by Richard Gordon and treats the whole matter as pure farce, with the object of packing as many laughs as possible into the evening's entertainment.
