A Country Practice

I was 12 when this came out having to watch on a small black and white tv sometimes if parents were watching something on bigger colour tv but I wouldn't miss an episode for anything. I'm watching the reruns now. Huge part of my childhood. My parents drove me me 3 hours to a qld shopping mall for a competition but I didn't win to meet the cast but I saw bob and cookie- never got over it and I'm over 50. Lol. BRILLIANT FUNNY CAST WITH EVERY EPISODE BEAUTIFULLY DIRECTED INCLUDING LOVELY MUSIC AND NOT AFRAID TO TOUCH ON REAL LIFE CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES IN SOCIETY AT THE TIME. AMAZING. Worth watching.

I love this show. Full of awesome stories and brilliant acting. I love the antics of bob and cookie

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.

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.

A Country Practice was a great series with lovable characters. If you can get the DVD's grab them.All the characters interact so well that you come to believe they are real people who love and annoy each on a day to day basis. They made you laugh and cry with them as though they were part of your own family. The animals were as much citizens of Wandin Valley as the people were and just as lovable. The theme music written by Mike Perjanik is unforgettable, as soon as you hear the piano start play those first few notes you are transported back to those beautiful green fields and that gorgeous building used as the hospital. i think everyone who watched A Country Practice wanted to live there.
