The Flying Doctors is an Australian television medical drama first broadcast on 26 May 1986 on the Nine Network. The series was produced by Crawford Productions. Set in the fictitious outback town Coopers Crossing, the show revolves around the everyday lifesaving efforts of the Royal Flying Doctor Service, starring Andrew McFarlane as Dr. Tom Callaghan, Liz Burch as Dr. Chris Randall, Lenore Smith as Nurse Kate Wellings, and Robert Grubb as Dr. Geoff Standish. The series' episodes were mostly self-contained medical dramas, but also explored social issues, such as domestic violence, alcohol abuse, and the struggles faced by Indigenous Australians. The series is based on a three-part miniseries that aired in April 1985. It originally ran for over seven years. Several early online episode listings split the 221 episodes into six seasons, however the National Film and Sound Archive confirms nine. Crawford Productions have released the show in DVD and on streaming in ten seasons (including the 13 episodes of the 1992 spin-off R.F.D.S.).
