I can tell you that Dr. David dying in The Flying Doctors was a big shock to me as a child and kind of traumatic. Looking back, he's such an annoying character and his death was so obvious and incredibly lame. I actually have a new trauma.

I haven't seen this series, although I've heard about it before (probably from you). Did you like the show? The rating is above average, but not great.

reply

It's an Australian soap about doctors from the late 80s. It's definitely more difficult to get through now than back then. But it's nostalgic and the theme song is great. I prefer the earlier seasons before everyone left. I'm at season 5 now and it's getting closer to years I have no interest in.

reply

You've piqued my curiosity, but I haven't been able to find it available to me. Dang. I'd like to check it out.

reply

Not even the mini-series? It was also very popular in Britain back in the day, so there could be a slight chance you would've liked it.

reply

I checked my library and even Interlibrary Loan, but no luck. Then I did some more checking and it looks like it was never released on DVD for region 1 (US). Oh well, maybe someday...

reply

It doesn't even seem to be on Youtube.😕

reply

True. I did check.
