Doctors spoilers: The medics celebrate Hawaiian style!

Doctors, Emma Reid, Jimmi Clay, Al Haskey

What are Emma, Jimmi and Al doing dressed-up Hawaiian style? It can only mean, it's the latest instalment of Dinner Winner hosted by Valerie!

The Come Dine With Me-style competition takes on an Hawaiian theme, when surgery receptionist Valerie Pitman hosts for dinner guests Emma Reid, Jimmi Clay and Al Haskey.

Grumpy Al, who is notoriously hard to please, is not impressed with Valerie's efforts to bring Hawaii to Letherbridge. But his colleagues Emma and Jimmi enjoy some limbo dancing and eating the pineapple-themed food.

But the evening takes an unexpected turn when two surprise (and passionate!) guests turn up.

Meanwhile, Karen Hollins tries to help her husband Rob, as he deals with the withdrawal symptoms from coming off his anti-depressants.

But Karen worries all is not well, when Rob goes upstairs to the bathroom and Karen then hears some strange noises...

Doctors, Daniel Granger, Luisa Lampadusa, Asif Mansur

Elsewhere, Daniel Granger's wife Zara and their son Joe are still away in Weston-Super-Mare. So the doctor is looking forward to a nice Friday night pizza dinner and a bottle of wine from a local Italian restaurant.

But instead, Daniel finds himself pulled into the relationship drama of strangers and a 999 medical emergency!

Doctors continues weekdays at 1:45pm on BBC One
