Royal Flying Doctor Service
Overview
Filmed on location in and around Broken Hill, RFDS captures the beauty and brutality of Australia's vast centre where the doctors and the nurses, pilots and support staff of the Royal Flying Doctor Service negotiate the unique challenges of medical emergencies across some of the most inhospitable places in the Australian outback. RFDS is also a story about community and people coming together to laugh, to cry and to triumph over adversity as the Royal Flying Doctor Service navigate private lives as turbulent and profound as the heart-stopping emergencies they attend.
Reviews - collaboration
Great subject matter, well-rounded characters, and exceptional acting. Mixing white and Aboriginal characters lends an insight into the sometimes troubled interaction of the people of Australia. Having the aspect of flying the doctors and nurses to cases, and flying patients to hospitals adds an additional feeling of adventure
Australia has been waiting for an iconic tv series such as RFDS. I loved the medical emergencies, the personal romances of the staff and the respectful and caring way every aspect from death, mental illness, patient welfare etc has been dealt with.
There are so many things to like about this show…the real life look at the RFDS and it’s machinations, the variety of characters that work their ways into each episode, the brilliant location, the relationships that are developing. This show has huge potential to be a fan favourite.
