I love this show. Full of awesome stories and brilliant acting. I love the antics of bob and cookie
I grew up watching and loving this series when it aired in the 1980's. It was a great series with a who's who cast of Australian actors and performers.
As a product of its time there was probably little thought given to diversity. Going through the list of probably over a thousand acting credits it is hard to find a non-white and non-anglo/european actor or indeed character.
From my memories of watching this show I can't remember any aboriginal actors or characters either. There probably were some bit-parts.
Friends has often been criticised for its lack of diversity but this Australian production ranks alongside and not in a positive way.

Loved it. Along with The Sullivans,Flying Doctors, etc this started my lifelong love of Australian TV. Brilliant!
Funny, clever, heartbreaking, and Australian.
I really hope someone makes it possible to watch it in the United Kingdom at some point.
I've looked multiple times to find out if a smart company would have the sense to repeat it.

This Australian drama series is one of the best to be produced, I enjoyed it when it aired and I still enjoy it now as I have bought all ten series that went to sale but unfortunately the last four series have not been released.
This production touched on real life situations and was very informative as they really did their homework on portraying real medical emergencies, it made you laugh and it made you cry and it was a sad day when it was axed.
Well done and a feather in your cap to the creator and executive producer James Davern, the many actors and all who had a hand in giving Australia a quality drama.

A Country Practice is in my opinion the GREATEST drama series of all time. This show began before i was born and with a magnificent cast including Anne Tenney, Shane Porteous, Brian Wenzel, Joyce Jacobs, the late Syd Heylen and Gordon Piper as well as Georgie Parker entertained millions over viewers over a 12 year period. I still cant believe the show got the chop. It was bought by another network and reworked but the show was never the same. It should have stayed with seven and never should have been axed. In this day and age where many Australian dramas are getting axed and very few survive, illustrates just how magnificent this program was. ACP was axed in 1993. The 1994 version in my mind and many other die hard fans never existed and everyone goes on about how great Blue Heelers is but let me tell you A Country Practice in terms of size was a zillion times better. Fantastic to see so many old A Country Practice stars appear on All Saints in recent times. A long time favourite gone but never ever forgotten. Thankyou James Davern for creating such a wonderful series.
