Flying Doctors Opening Credits

[whitenottrash]

Kinda remember it from when I was 7 years old ; Australian innit ??

[Potionette81]

At 0:30 is that the Bungle Bungles?

[DoctorBohr]

Yep, we always watched this in the 80s. I was too young to understand most of it; I think I just liked the plane.

[soulextracter]

My mom folled this :) remember it from my childhood in the nineties ;D

[cl090574]

[ytuser5847]

This was a very enjoyable series. Has anyone got the opening credits to "The Flying Doctor" original 1950s series which starred Richard Denning please? If so can you upload them please?

[TT013]

great tune!

[SeannyFontaine]

I used to love The Flying Doctors! I have vivid memories of an episode where they had to talk a guy through some sort of medical procedure over the radio. It was immense. Can't buy those memories back, but I can relive old episodes!

Why can't they show this series in the U.S.? 

It's fantastic!

[johnkorner]

@fatkinson1954 umm, no it is not. :)

[fatkinson1954]

@johnkorner It'll beat the pants off the junk on U.S. cable/satellite channels any day.

[stratdvd]

one of the best shows in the eighties, one of the few shows I actually watched with the whole family

[MeAndMira]

I had to run home from school to watch this show on 4

[woodss82]

my parents loved this show in the 80s too.

I remember some of it too.

[evaboon1980]

This brings back so many memories from my childhood, miss the eighties.. :) thanks for putting this up!

[itze25]

was set in the outback of New South Wales Remember Broken Hill gaught mentioned now and again?

[BadGirlOfAutism]

I remember watching this at my gran's house; she always loved afternoon Aussie soaps? What state was it set in?

[markape1]

This wonderful show inspired me into filmaking...Check out my video "Pranksters in the park" the one with the picture of the 2 kids....

[Mrfighd]

This was my FAVOURITE show when I was growing up! wow memories :-)

[policebox2007]

Used to watch this a long time ago.

[mrsgritoli1]

One of Crawfords better shows.Loved seeing Maurie and Val together

[Vince1648]

It was because of Flying Doctors, Crocodile Dundee and Midnight Oil that I decided to go backpacking around Australia 20 yrs ago.

What a great year that was.

[gravyfunky]

This used to come on just before MacGyver. I couldn't wait for it to finish!

[darkirishdragon]

phoneshow sux

[satrapy27]

That must be one awesome career wow.

[MovieMad007]

back in 2005 I travelled from the UK to go backpacking in OZ, the only internal flights i took were Sydney to Adelaide which was nothing short of spectacular, and Rockhampton to Brisbane. Flying across Sydney to Adelaide was amazing from an ordinary Virgin Blue 737. No clouds whatsover and crystal clear sky looking down at the vast expanse of nothingness! I think the mountains were the Flinders although a little unsure. But amazing memories!! Want to go back!!

[fairlygodfather]

I sat down in Perth Western Australia watching the show and often wonder what it was like to fly in a streacher

well I moved to Broken Hill out back Australia and ended up in the local hospital and I was transfered by RFDS to Royal Adelaide hospital

although we live in NSW the SA hospital is much closer a 1 hour flight compaired to 4 or 5 to Sydney

i took my camera with me and I got some cool pictures of the outback

[lancemckellar]

Great show. Not the same once Andrew Mcfarlane and Liz Burch left though. Thanx for the memory!

[jakemiller5000]

That last scene with the pilot and his perverted smile. It's almost as if he wants to rape that nurse or crash the plane intentionally to fuck with them!

[RFDSfan]

WOW!!!!!!

i love this show i love how they kept Kate & Geoffrey to gether in the opening credits

i was pinged off still when they moved Tom And Anna apart whe they get married in a country practice

i think Flying Doctors is exellent kids at school think that flying doctors is crappy i don't a gree with them cuz that is were i get all my Medical learning from even an operation i think i will take Kates Job in FD and A Country Practice love RFDSfan

[Andyrt35]

i was lucky enough to live about 40 minutes from Minyip and mum use to take me every 2nd Wednesday after school

and got to meet alot of the main cast rebecca gibney, Bruce Barry, Lenore smith Liz burch etc all very nice

[olmaBLN]

Different to the German Opening, but I LOVED THIS SERIES!!! Great characters, ( DJ or Hurtle, Violette, Emma, the bar couple ( Vic & Nancy?? ) and George Baxter... )

Great pictures, great stories, great acting ( instead the "German" doctor MAGDA, she was so stereotype boring! We are more funny, even in Bavaria ;-) ) ... I miss these series so much!! Hopefully they will be shown again on TV...

[mikesierrafoxtrot]

loved it !!

[magy89]

bra show 95

[ShinkenRuffy]

even though I never watched the show, this makes me feel nostalgic.

[chucksfan1]

We see Hundreds of Hogans Heroes reruns on cable in Australia - but would we see a great Aussie series like this. No NEVER. Gotta be bullshit that!

[Lizburch85]

Looooove this! Can't get enough of them!And it's soon gonna be on swedish TV4 again. For eleventh time or so... :D

[ashdivay]

use to watch this in india back in the days it was cool

[hmcscarlet13]

I'm sorry...I don't usually post comments like this and I know I'll get flagged....but it just has to be said that this looks like one of the gayest shows ever! I'm a huge TV buff and have never heard of it. Did it last more than 1 episode?

[Kevo00]

Dude, its hugely famous, and was very popular, at least in the UK and presumably Australia...

[loosecannonfilms]

Are you kidding me??? One of Australia's greatest ever TV series. An absolute iconic Australian series about Australia's unsung heros, the Royal Flying Doctors. Sure it's a little dated now and looks a little dorky but it was first rate television in its time.

[Peechan55555a]

it was even shown in Germany! Brings back memories :)

[AmersfoortTristan]

One of my favorite series- ever.

If I can find the entire series on DVD I'll buy them. .. But I guess that the Flying Doctors will be hard to find here.

[CutAndRunaway]

Complete series 1 is available on DVD. Try the usual places..Amazon, Play etc.

Series 2 gets a release in May

Happy viewing.

[AmersfoortTristan]

Thank you :) You too.

[pugsley2005]

This is not the opening credits of Season 1, would be of a later season - possibly three. Andrew McFarlane was the lead for the first season as Dr Tom Callaghan. Cheers

[CutAndRunaway]

It is actually a series 1 opening sequence.

Andrew McFarlane left part way through the first set of episodes and the titles were changed accordingly.

You're right in that it's not the first set of titles though.

[blackflagqwerty]

The pig killer from mad max 3

[alma1980sommerregen]

Yeah.

"Pig Killer" (R. Grubb) is JUST great!

:)

Peace out!

[Andypilot333]

AHHHH!!! Childhood nostalgia!! Interestingly in 1992 repeats were shown on British TV. That years' BBC Farnborough Air Show programmes featured the RFDS at Broken Hill equipped with Super King Air 200's. Was the Nomad surplus to requirements and hence available for filming? Or because it was an indigenous Australian aeroplane?

[VEER1996]

i like it too.

really want to have all of them on DVD :D

[justmaz2004]

if you like flying doctors you would love the clippings on youtube of geoff and kate standish wellings and other  stars even a blooper reel too .

[MeAndMira]

they re sending it again on TV4

[forestgump1976]

I grew up in the 80's and I love the flying doctors.

[AVRILSBEAN]

God bless me

[AVRILSBEAN]

Good morning iam all teeth

[McCorrupt]

I watched this show on TV4 until they showed the last episode.

Will never forget "The Flying Doctors", that's so true as it can be

[McCorrupt]

Tittade på det på TV4 tills serien tog slut.

"Doktorn kan komma" är oförglömlig, det är så sant det bara kan bli!

[cellistwoman]

Jag lärde mig läsa tv-texten till den!

[collinio]

"Mike Sierra Foxtrot calling Victor Charlie Charlie."

[Northwestlondoner]

I miss Flying Doctors and I enjoyed singing along to the theme tune. I went to the Flying Doctors Museum in Alice Springs, and had a little retro moment.

[jamiefm]

Fantastic stuff! I had forgotten just how cheesy the opening credits were.
