    Flying Doctor, The

    1 9 5 9 – 1 9 6 1 (UK)
    39 x 30 minute episodes

    Nearly 30 years before The Flying Doctors took off from Cooper’s Crossing, tall, handsome American doctor Greg Graham (Richard Denning), his blind colleague and old friend Dr Jim Harrison (Peter Madden) and his trusty nurse, Mary (Jill Adams), were life-savers in the Australian outback.

    Responding to urgent radio messages, they winged their way (always just in the nick of time) to remote patients in a small plane piloted by their friend, Charley (Alan White).

    Their medical service – covering an area of around 2,000,000 square miles – raged from dealing with mine disasters to carrying out Outback rescue missions.

    Graham had arrived in Australia on leave from a research institute in San Francisco.

    The series was filmed partly at Elstree studios in Hertfordshire and partly on location in Australia, and inspired by the popularity of the BBC radio series of the same name which starred James Mackechnie, Bill Kerr, and Bettina Dickson.
