Simply Media TV Release 'Dr Finlay's Casebook' (Series 1) On DVD

One of the BBC's longest-running TV series, Dr Finlay's Casebook, was aired on BBC Alba to mark its 50th anniversary on 16th August 2012. Now Dr Finlay's Casebook is going to be available on DVD for the first time.

Simply Media TV is releasing 'Dr Finlay's Casebook' (Series 1)

This is the first time that this BBC TV Series has ever been released on DVD.

Based on A. J. Cronin's novella, Country Doctor, the series centres on a general medical practice in the fictional Scottish town of Tannochbrae.

Dr Alan Finlay is a young medical student working in a country practice in the Scottish village of Tannochbrae, under the tutelage of the experienced Dr Cameron.

First broadcast in the 60's the drama had become a cult sensation. A Bill Simpson Fan Club was set up, Andy Stewart's Dr Finlay was in the Hit Parade for five weeks, and Andrew Cruikshank was invited to the British Medical Association's annual dinner to speak on medical matters as if he were a real GP!

The show's success was down to the compelling storylines, and excellent casting. The young and forward-looking Dr Finlay was played by the dapper Bill Simpson, while his senior medical partner, the slightly staid but highly pragmatic Dr Cameron, was portrayed by the veteran actor Andrew Cruickshank. Housekeeper Janet was played to stiff perfection by Barbara Mullen.
