Doctor Thorne is a 2016 three-part (divided into four parts for broadcast in North America)[2] television drama series adaptation of the 1858 Anthony Trollope novel Doctor Thorne scripted by Julian Fellowes for ITV.[3] Mary Thorne, penniless and with undisclosed parentage, grows up under the guardianship of her uncle Doctor Thorne. She spends much of her formative years in the company of the Gresham family at Greshamsbury Park estate. As they close on the world of adult cares and responsibilities, the past starts to impinge and the financial woes of the Gresham family threaten to tear relationships apart.
