I bought a Region '0' dvd player just so I could watch UK films, which are not always available in the USA - and am I glad I did! Many years ago, PBS aired 'Peak Practice' amd I loved it but they never showed it again. Happily, the series was recently released on dvd in the UK so I immediately bought it and am enjoying it immensely. It stars Kevin Whately, who is a huge favorite of mine from the Inspector Morse series, and Amanda Burton, a lovely, talented, popular actress. The plots revolve around the lives of a general practice group set in a small English town. Of course, the stories are mostly derived from medical emergencies or everyday happenings in a typical country clinic, but evenly balanced with the doctors' private lives which are sometimes romantic, sometimes turbulent but always fascinating. The stories are very well written. They are intelligent and obviously medically well researched which makes them very plausible. I was happily pleased to recognize many familiar faces among the supporting cast members, much younger, of course, and many long gone. Beside the wonderful acting and great stories is the expert filming of the locations which display the natural beauty of the English countryside. Some scenes are really breathtaking. I recommend this series highly.Read full review
