[Mishmash] Flying Doctors Opening Credits

[David Brown]

Hi Fred,

 

One off means it was unique.  I could call the Mona Lisa a one off in that
there has never been another.  Friends was not a one off as there was a
bunch of seasons.

 

It is not running on free to air in Oz.  I don't think it is running on pay
but only because I have not noticed it in the program or the ads.

 

Cheers

 

David

David, 

 

    A one off is an Aussie term I haven't heard.  Enlighten me.  ;-)

 

    Is the series still running?  I'd like to know.  

 

    Stay in touch.  

    

    Regards, 

 

 

 

                                                                Fred

Well Fred, it was a Crawford production.  This is what  I found:   

 

http://www.crawfords.com.au/libary/drama/flyingdocs.shtml

 

6 hour mini-series produced in 1984 (2 hours x 3)

Executive Producers: Hector Crawford, Ian Crawford & Terry Stapleton

Producers: Charles Tingwell & Graham Moore

Associate Producer: Mike Lake

Director: Pino Amenta

Writers: Terry Stapleton & Vince Moran

 

Filmed on location at Nulla Station in the far west of New South Wales,
Minyip in the wheatlands of north-west Victoria & Mundi Mundi Plains on the
South Australian border beyond Broken Hill

 

 

That suggests it was a one off.

 

Cheers

 

David

David, 

 

    I was told it went into a new season.  Are you sure about that?  

 

    I got a copy of the original Flying Doctors movie on Ebay some years
back.  Later, I got six of the television episodes.  It's never been shown
in The States.  But it has been shown in Europe and other parts of the
world, I'm told.  

 

    I think it's fantastic.  With all of the junk we have on our cable
channels here, I don't understand why they don't put The Flying Doctors on
one of them.  

 

    Regards, 

 

 

 

                                                                    Fred
