New episodes of the fan-favourite series will begin airing from next Monday, September 4th.

It’s also back in its regular time slot of 1:45pm on BBC One.

A teaser for the return episode reads: “Daniel has a nasty surprise for Zara, and Claudia learns more about Bear. Meanwhile, Rosie tries to make amends.”

Doctors fans were left fuming when it disappeared from the schedule back in June.

A spokesperson said the show would be off air until September.

They said: “Doctors will be off air and return to your screens on Monday 4th September. In the meantime, Catch up on BBC iPlayer.”

Reacting to the news at the time, one fan said: “This is madness!! It’s getting earlier each year? You always used to break in July when Wimbledon started. Why so early? I fear this may be headed for the chop.”

A second wrote: “Why does this have to happen? I get stop for the tennis but goodness start back in August! It’s bad enough it’s 4 days still.”

“Happily watching @BBCDoctors then it’s announced it’s finished till September. Come on guys if you want to be equal to the soaps you really need to put out more programmes,” said a third.

While a fourth fan commented: “Can’t believe there’s now a break until September! Why? No other soap does this!”
