The Flying Doctors

While rewatching flying doctors on catchup tv as I relive how realistic the storyline can be it becomes apparent that actors and dogs are recycled many time as different characters. Ie.. violets grandaughter in season 1 returns as a pregnant woman in season 7.

I think that The Flying Doctors are one of the best TV-Series to date. I'm only 17 years old, but I've seen the series twice already. They are showing re-runs here in Sweden now again, and I can't be happier! It's a fantastic series, Kate and Geoff are really wonderful, and all the personalities in the show's just amazing! I really love this! I just wish that Crawford Productions, or whatever it is, would distribute DVD, or VHS of the complete series. I've looked everywhere on the internet, but I haven't found anything! Anyone who knows where I can purchase anything? Anyway, the series is awesome and I hope they'll never stop showing it!

I used to watch this TV series by satellite out of Hong Kong. It is fantastic and wonder why it was never shown in the states. The cast and the story are first rate. It is better than at least 95 percent of what is shown on nightly TV now. I am sure that viewers in the states would enjoy it as much as I did.

I think I'd become dependent...psychologically....and physically. What a show, and all the romantic between Geoff and Kate. And what a great actor Robert Grubb is. This says it all I think.

Recent reruns of this well-acted and well-written drama from the mid-eighties have reminded me just how good 'The Flying Doctors' was. The key word for me is realism, maybe because the plotlines were based on actual RFDS (Royal Flying Doctor Service) cases, and checked for accuracy by the real Flying Docs. The acting was very believable, and the characters became like old friends. The publicans' wisdom of Vic, the pub landlord in Cooper's Crossing, still makes me laugh - true blue Australian humour. And I still cry every time I see the last episode from the first series, where the pilot dies, because he was one of my favourites. But each series had its bonuses - this show is very easy to dip into, as well as follow as a soap.
