Quacks, created by James Wood, is a BBC sitcom about four Victorian era doctors.[1] The series combines satire, absurdist comedy and traditional slapstick, with stories often being based on real history.[2] Despite generally favourable reviews it was cancelled after one series.[3]
Chatham Dockyard in Kent doubled as streets of Victorian London. It was also used as the location of the apothecary and bareknuckle boxing fight featured in the series.[15]
The series has received positive reviews, with many critics comparing it with Blackadder.[8]
The first episode, which aired on BBC 2 at 10pm on 15 August 2017,[16] received positive reviews from The Independent and The Guardian.[2] Critics like Gerard Gilbert praised the series' originality, and particularly the performance of Lydia Leonard and Rupert Everett.[17] Radio Times noted the similarities to Monty Python and Blackadder, and praised the scriptwriters' ability to weave the series' surreal humour with anecdotes of bizarre real historical events.[18][8] Reviews generally remained favourable by the time the final series episode aired, with Sean O'Grady of The Independent calling for a second series.[19]
