When does The Clinic start?

Oh yeah, the night club with about 15 people in it! 10 of which are related to the clinic! & a dj that never actually seems to DJ??

Gotta love the clinic, the only surgery in the world where you go in with a seemingly innocent cough and are immediately diagnosed with a life threatening condition without even having an exam. Doc will then accompany you to hospital where you will make a full recovery, you can then later pop into the above mentioned nightclub to party with doc with whom you are now friends! .................. Don't have clinics like that on the Northside! :(

You mean your doctors don't all look like supermodels and wear little strappy dresses to work?? Gawd, peasant!!
 
I was going to remark on Clodaghs attire and had decided not to. It's way too much for any normal workplace.

My theory on the nightclub is the good looking receptionist works there at night so Daisy was following him. The rest have to follow so as to mind their own jobs. The people like Patrick who don't really need to worry about their job end up there, following the people who follow Daisy.

God be with the days when there were 3 people at reception, an Office Manager and an IT Manager.

No but they do all drive around in Audi jeeps and Range Rovers so I guess some things are accurate!:D

Also in fairness, in the old days they all had family and friends outside of work so a scruffy pub for a quick pint after work on a Friday was fine. Now that they have all tragically lost all contact with the outside world and only socialise with each other they need somewhere nice to hang out together seven nights a week. I presume they will all be having Christmas dinner at Lorcan and Clodagh's gaff and will ring in the new year in Dan's flat above the Clinic - with some vengeful drugged up patients trying to break in and give the all AIDS. Actually, I feel a script coming on........
 
I sincerely hope that they didn't kill off Rory - who is probably the only one worth watching (along with Smurfitt's character) - Surely to god with all of those bullets flying around one of them could have hit Clodagh who spent the entire night hugging Lorcan.

What a crap episode last night - sex traffickers, brothel owners, guns, heart attacks - Jeeze you would be safer working at a methadone clinic on the Northside!
 
I know, a God given chance to kill off half the cast and they go for Rory!!!

Ridiculous, over the top episode. I had to laugh when an obviously terrified Cara was telling the guards 'no, no, everything's grand here' and they just said 'right so' and headed off.

Anyway, I suppose being holed up in a room together with a madman brandishing a gun was a change to being holed up in the fancy night club together.
 
You would have thought that will all of the people they have had breaking in to the clinic and attacking doctors Daisy would have put in a panic button in the back office!

Or they would have used the fax machine he locked them in with.
 
Didn't he pull out the phone lines? - although I did wonder why they didn't email. I think they should have hit him with one of Daisy's shoes.
 
Sure I think he forgot to take the phone off Kieleen (the pregnant girl married to the cop) so they could have used that.

I thought it was good enough last night- totally OTT alright but a good cliffhanger for next year.
 
Is this one of those 'so bad it's good' type shows?

It sounds like it from this thread. A lot a fans but everyone kind of saying how silly it is too.

I've only seen a few minutes here and there but TBH it looked diabolical to me.

Problem is, they leave such a long gap between series I've forgotten half the twists and turns and who's done what and who can't stand who. I wonder why they don't run it until March.
 
I think they should have 10 episodes anyway - that would have brought it to Christmas. It would also be short enough for the actors to get other work etc.

Rory is probably in great demand now as he played a great part in the BBC True Romantics earlier in the year.
 
I'm a big fan of The Clinic but was very disappointed with this season. It was far too short and some characters barely got a storyline. Cara is a fantastic character but, over six episodes, all she mainly got this year was a few lines grumbling about the place being too busy. Didn't the previous series end with the crazy Cork receptionist having a baby and agreeing to move in with Cara?? Or did I dream that? There was no mention of it in this series anyway.
I don't like Patrick so wasn't too bothered that he wasn't used.
Why bring in Edel half way through the series? Why not at the start?
And why didn't Clodagh immediately say that Keelan was upstairs last night - she only seemed to remember after they had been in the locked room for a while...
Poor RTE....could do better..
 
Enjoyed it but can't help thinking that Bruce Willis might be making an appearance in the next series the way its going....... its getting a bit like Die Hard...... they've now set a trend that the next season will have to be mind blowing. There might be a few Taliban (or perhaps Tallaghban ;) ) in the next episode!!

You're right. I'd completely forgotten that. They could have had a brilliant storyline there. They're both slightly 'eccentric' and would be a very funny combination.

Hey, Ney, leave Cork out of this!!!!! The show is based in Dublin!

You wouldn't want to end up on the wrong end of a Mayfield Handshake now, would you? ;)
