    One of the best

    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!

    Brings back some great memories

    A few weeks ago they started to show reruns of the flying doctors here on TV and I couldn't be happier about that. Every Saturday-evening I'm hooked again. I used to watch this show as a young teenager every week and now I'm watching it every week as a young adult and I'm still loving it.

    It's very exciting and has some great acting. It's a kind of show where you really start to care about the major characters. The pacing sometimes is a bit slow, but I don't mind at all. This way you can really get sucked into the story and start to know and care about the people involved. Something which doesn't happen in most shows nowadays. I really hope that the reruns are going to last a long time, because The flying doctors is really a one-of-a-kind great show.

    The Flying Doctors Comment

    I love "The Flying Doctors". I used to watch it every week until we moved to Canada a few months ago.

    Between a scale 1-10, I'll give "The Flying Doctors" 11! It's true, it's a great TV series

    Flying Doctors TV Series

    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.

    Realistic series with a warm heart

    Especially the first few years of this series provides really good viewing. You cannot help but love the warm personalities appearing in it. When visiting the real R.F.D.S. in Broken Hill in 1994, I was told that the series realistically presents the work carried out by the devoted doctors and nurses covering 80% of the Australian continent. In brief, this series has it all: multi-dimensional characters with great actors, rich story lines (romance, adventure, how to cope in the outback etc.) and nice footage of a grand landscape.

      [To George Baxter]

      Dr. Geoff Standish: You know I was told that my predecessor, once dragged you into the lane and punched you into the nose. May I say that I wish I'd had his good judgment!
