The Flying Doctors





Those of you who have know me quite a long time know that some ten to fifteen years ago I was totally, and I mean TOTALLY, into the Australian TV show "The Flying Doctors". For a number of years I ran a fairly successful website about the show, and I even met one of the actors, Christopher Stollery in 2001!
As time went by, my interest sort of cooled off a little. I still think it's an amazing TV show, but I'm quite as hooked on it as I was back then.

When I received the Honorary Diploma for extraordinary achievements within SI my Mum decided to give me the entire Flying Doctors DVD Set, containing all 9 seasons!!!! Such an amazing gift!!!!!
I've watched the first two seasons so far, and I'm quickly realizing why I was so taken by this show earlier! I'm actually even thinking of bringing my old website back to life again, although that will be a long term project, and I'm not giving any guarantees at all!!

Yeah, I know!!! I was SO thrilled! :) I have recorded most of the episodes as well, but my VCR:s aren't great and it's such a procedure to watch any videos these days, I hardly ever do ...
I really has found a new interest in the show after getting the DVD box - and I am actually seriously thinking about bringing back the website, though I have no idea how I'll find the time to do it ... *oops*
