A country practice

cazzy

Anyone on this watch A Country Practice ?

I used to love it .... Fatso the wambat, the mad shirley sitting under the pyramid in her living room, everyone that came to the small town ending up in the hospital. Great TV.

Lil' Smiler

Awww wow, i used to watch it with my mum when i was small. wasn't it on after home and away at lunchtime??

I remember the theme tune.. *hums to self*

cazzy

I think it was on weekdays at 5.30. I loved the tune as well. (also humming)

I wanted to be in A Country Practice when I grew up.

Hey Cazzy, I hope when you grow up, that your dreams come true!
But it finished on November 22, 1993

Here is the theme tune for you hummers

I was going to say that was the first Aussie soap of note, but of course Sons and Daughters was on around the same time, and The Sullivans preceded them both.

i remember the last ever episode where all the characters were joined together a lá wedding photo, after some barn fire if memories serve me correctly? the theme tune is a lovely piece of music if a little sim city on the SNES

Flying Doctors was another Oz soap as far as I can remember, don't remember a whole lot about Country Practice.

I remember one episode vividly, where Cookie found a WWII Mine in the wall of his Bar for some reason. Weak plot, but the only interesting episode for me. The rest I was forced to watch by the Mother, and by virtue of the fact that the only programme on Bog 2 was Bosco, the puppet with arms growing from his hips.

Only remember the tune.

For some reason, I always get it mixed up with the theme of the Sullivans.

Probably because the piano bit in The Sullivans is practically identical to A Country Practice's theme.

My parents were hooked on this. I loved the theme tune. It was so exciting when I found myself queuing at the same taxi rank in Sydney as Penny Cook, who played Molly, back in 1994:p.

Yeah, my mum used to watch both, hated them as I wanted to watch cartoons...:o

There was also a Scottish one she used to watch...trying to remember the name of it... Take the Highroad maybe?

Think she occasionally watched The Flying Doctors, but not as religiously as the others...

I remember Frank and Shirley who used to meditate in a triangle yoke, Terence who had a bit of a multiple wife thing going including something with the matron, Brendan and Molly who had a child with a brand new name: Chloe! Oh my, the memories. Was Bob the name of the plumber that was friends with Cookie?

ciaran76

Yeah Bob and Cookie got up to some high jinx as they say !

Esme Watson -had forgotton her. glasses and blue rinse. and the pub had a pool table. and the hospital had only bout 5 rooms in it.

mental07

I remember there was a dog in it called Dog.

TheDriver

And we always got to look at the waiting room and the one overused operating theatre in the hospital, they'd give the HSE a run for their money!!
Remember Terence's wife that was the DOctor, didn't she get sick or something? And Maggie Sloane, the matron!

Angus MacGyver

A friend of mine once referred to A Country Practice as Viintage Home & Away

How we laughed

dlofnep

the theme song brings back mad memories!

gazzer
