I accidentally started watched the Flying Doctors here in Denmark maybe 6-7 years ago? Got addicted very quickly! It was very refreshing to watch a series from Australia for a change.Interesting to learn about the RFDS - never knew how that worked. The main characters are 'real' people - they can be annoying, angry, tired,funny, stupid and so on - but you like them anyway - even George Baxter, who is often 'the bad guy'! - but he too, does good deeds once in a while. The side stories might be fun, cute, or deal with the major issues of life: life, death, God. Also other serious matters are dealt with - always in a fair and decent way: pollution, the aborigines, anorexia nervosa, problems in the family a.s.o Fun and serious matters are mixed - so nothing ever gets too stern or ridiculous. There isn't always a happy end to all the stories, but watching the series always leaves you in a good mood.
it's a great idea to center the plot about the RFDS base but also in the pub - being the center of the social life of the town.
It's a bit funny that they all are sooooo virtuous about sex - even having decided to marry! Not very realistic - but OK.......? But drinking is apparently OK. A LOT of beers are handed over the bar!
Anyway - a great series - interesting, entertaining and pleasant.
I was happy finding out that it is recently being shown on Danish TV: DR2 in the morning.
