Dr Jemima Jamjuggle

She is very sweet, but sometimes gets into sticky situations (don't ask!). She likes to juggle, loves to cuddle, but often ends up in a muddle. Her costume is a bit dotty and spotty which suits her fine 'cos she's so potty. Her favourite food is jam, her favourite colour is bright pink and she loves singing in the bath!

Dr Poppy Sneezitoff 
Poppy was not given her name at birth. She earned it by working hard as a taxi driver in the Ukraine until the age of twelve. One day a penguin was sat in the back of her taxi, and they took a detour and found themselves in Argentina. The penguin got a bit hot and bothered, Poppy performed a miracle operation and never looked back. She now travels fast and low, taking her medical case with her everywhere in case someone ever shouts "is there a doctor on Board?". Poppy loves a good dance, and has a big collection of muscles.

Dr Aristotle Spaghettiyetti

Doctor Aristotle Spaghettiyetti is often very very busy, so busy in fact that he only has time to tell you how busy he is. He may not look very busy and he may spend a lot of time not doing anything but never fear! He is extremely busy and may be busy doing things even when it looks as if he's doing nothing. His favourite song is the only song he knows and it's the custard song! He loves it when people ask him to sing it; the only difficulty is getting him to STOP!

Dr Lulu McDoo

Having sprung fully-grown from her father's sporran Doctor Lulu McDoo was passed through the family like chicken pox until she was finally settled with a maiden aunt who gave her the freedom of the porridge drawer. Strangely Dr McDoo, absorbed by one of her aunt's haggis impersonations, stepped backwards, falling off Scotland into England where she now walks the corridors, bringing wafts of porridge and haggis to those who need it most.

Dr Johan Cherrywolf
Dr Johan Cherry Wolfe, or Jonah to his mother, comes from a family of wrestlers called the Von Wolfe's. He was set to follow in his family’s footsteps, but Johan was walking one day, lost his footing and stumbled. He found himself hanging onto the edge of a cliff. Just as his grip started to loosen, and the end seemed inevitable, a small hairy leg and hoof lifted him to safety. Standing nearby was a deer- one crystal tear fell from its eye and it then vanished. That moment will stay with Johan forever, and he decided then to help in life in whatever way he could.

Dr Melanie Mughugger
