| Comments: | Binge eating does not happen in a vacuum. Your binge eating is your response to deep emotional pain that you need to process. Many trauma survivors, such as people with a history of abuse or neglect in childhood, binge eat to manage their emotions. Thanks. |

| Comments: | Health insurance costs more than many retirees can afford, and in some cases is not even made available through former employers or private sources. Anyone retiring before the age of eligibility for Medicare insurance is left to find affordable health care coverage to pay for doctors, prescriptions, medical procedures and hospital visits. For many, the cost of living is barely affordable without a salary. Retiring without health insurance is one of the ways some workers arrange for an early retirement. Thanks. |

Brendan & Molly were still going although Molly was sick if I remember. There was a great atmosphere on the show and even though I have never really watched the show it did seem to be very popular. |

We , living in Carringbah, watched ACP . It has only been in the past 6 years that i have realized that my up bringing in the shire is the reflection of Wandin Valley that i aspire to give my now 2 kids.. I have just today, had an ACP encounter.I listed some stuff on freecycle in the Gosford area & my first reply was from a man that's wife has a slippery dip from the show ??? He was laughing with his wife about my user name. I, since moving to the cent coast have been able to keep chooks. My Girls names are Molly,Esme Watson,Matron Slone,Bev, Shirley,Dr Vicky,Judy & Chloe. Thank You for keeping this site alive so i can share the beautiful Valley with my Kids XXXX Jo'Molly'Lia |

| Comments: | I am slowly re-living my childhood. A Country Practice is a HUGE part of my life. I play it in the kitchen when I have a long meal to cook and don't leave the kitchen until around 5 hrs later.I have 1.5 seasons left to purchase and by the time I finish, I'll be able to start again. Watching this series gives me a sensation of safety. No matter what is happening in life. My friends from Wandin Valley will always be there when I'm ready. |

| Comments: | I grew up in Pitt Town and since they often used our school as Wandin Valley Primary School, and "Frank" and "Shirley's" house was right across the road from the school, we were always able to watch them filming, and talk to the actors.
I remember hanging over the fence talking to "Bob", attending "Vicky" and "Simon's" wedding, and my sister and I sharing hot chips with "Jessie", as though it was normal! As a young girl, the line between reality and the show were slightly blurred though, and it took my Mum a really long time to convince me that it wasn't real when Molly died! A great childhood, and a wonderful show... |

| Comments: | I was very pleased to find this website. It is a very good site for such a popular and entertaining show. I used to watch the show when I was a teenager in rural WA - alot of us related to the characters and the issues that were dealt with in the episodes. I watched it right into the late 80's until one of my favourite characters got killed in an accident. They replayed the earliest episodes here in WA a few years back, and I was glued to the tv. Happy memories. Girls at my school even got similar hairstyles to the characters at the time. Keep up the good work, Kitty, you are doing a wonderful job for those of us who need to get special information about some of the actors etc, or just dose up on nostalgia.*** |

Incidentally, I mailed you quite a while ago with an image of the front cover of Brendan & Molly the Untold Story which I possess. I see it's still not up on the site so wonder if you ever got it? Trouble is, the book is now buried somewhere and it could take me a while to find it if you want another scan. |

| Comments: | FOR SALE: WANDING VALLEY HOSPITAL!!!!!!
Article from: Hawkesbury Gazette Date: 16 July 2007 Original Author: Shannon Tonkin To the outside world it's Wandin Valley Hospital in the long-running drama A Country Practice. But to the O'Brien family it's Clare House and has been their home for the past 28 years. On July 28 [2007] the piece of family and television history is up for auction after owners Ron and Trish O'Brien decided it was time to move to something smaller. The house and the O'Briens enjoyed a certain degree of celebrity status during the show's golden reign on Channel Seven in the 1980s. It started when a man appeared on their doorstep one day in 1981 and said he was doing a story about nursing in the bush. "In less than six weeks, we had film crews here," Mrs O'Brien said. "They only ever took footage of the outside of our house, but we had our fair share of actors and actresses on the property. "They'd be here all day filming for hours, and when you saw it on TV there'd only be five or six seconds of our house, but it was great to see it on the screen." Mrs O'Brien said many visitors wanted to see 'inside the Wandin Valley Hospital', expecting it to have been a real hospital at some stage. "Contrary to popular belief, it never was a hospital, it's always been a home, but we'd have plenty of people knocking at the door asking to see inside the Wandin Valley hospital," she said. Situated in Oakville between Rouse Hill and McGraths Hill in the Hawkesbury Valley, Clare House was built by Andrew Thompson between 1810 and 1830. Originally on 105 hectares, the property was sold off in parts and when the O'Briens bought it in 1979, the house was surrounded by 3.2 hectares. The O'Brien family of Ron, Trish and their six children moved in early in 1979 but Mr and Mrs O'Brien say it's now time to move on. "It's a five-bedroom house and there's only the two of us here now. We want a place that's all on one level, without stairs," Mr O'Brien said. "It's a big change for us, but we're looking forward to it." |

| Comments: | I have been a fan since it started. I don't have pay tv so I have to rely on my brother to record it for me to watch.
I have the last episode and everytime I watch it I cry because I loved it so much. I collect everything I can find that relates to the show. When I was A teenager I met "Cookie" and "Bob", they came to a fund raiser I had organised. Only three years ago I watched Georgie Parker in the "The Man From Snowy River Spectatular" and she was wonderful. When I speak to other people about A Country Practice it always brings about long conversations and pleasent memories. It is wonderful to know that there are still so many people like me and such a wonderful web site to catch up with fellow fans. |

| Comments: | Watched this with my parents when it aired at lunch times in the UK. Since coming to live in Australia 9 years ago, it is really strange that we ended up with all the native Aussie animals and birds from the show in our back yard. Still watching the show on Foxtelle and loving it. Brings back comforting memories of my family. |

| Comments: | MORE EPISODES TO BE RELEASED ON DVD
I have some fantastic news! MRA sent me an email, dated 24 January 2007, and they informed that they are releasing two 12 disc box sets in April 2007. They will sell for around $100 Australian. The breakdown is as follows: * A Country Practice - Series 2 - Part 2 - 1982 (eps 45 - 106) * A Country Practice - Series 3 - Part 1 - 1983 (eps 107 - 148) MRA plan to release further box sets during 2007, depending on sales, which they say look very positive. At this stage, they have secured the rights up until episode 532. I now look forward to April 2007:) |

| Comments: | First of all: top compliment for this site and your longstanding commitment!! Im originally Swiss, lived and worked in Australia for several years in the seventies and this country was a mind-opener to me! The way of life, the philosophy and true pioneering spirit (="have a go at anything mate, and we'll give you a hand!") which I experienced provided an enormous trigger to my life energies and plans. After returning to Europe I was lucky enough to "fall" into this TV-series, where I re-discovered just the qualities I had experienced in this great country. No neeed to say I got hooked! Ever since I have kept heartwarming memories of many details of the characters and wildlife etc, shown in ACP. (Unfortunately the recently issued DVDs only work for Region4 and Europe is Region2: so no compatibility!) Now, since January 07 the German pay-TV 'PREMIERE / Series' starts again showing the (early) episodes on weekdays. So, hopefully the fan group here will grow and with this the pressure to produce DVDs also for the European Region! I booked a yearly Abo especially to see ACP, however due to technical software download problems of the provider, I already missed out on some. I'm hoping (and saving up) to re-visit Oz in October 07 and ACP would be such an excellent introduction for my travel partner who is a novice to Oz. For years I have travelled for an international Organization, however, what many of you have stated is true for me too: No other show has ever surpassed the lasting impression which the "Wandin Valley Characters" have made on me in terms of human warmth and authenticity! Thanks for keeping up your precious resource site! |

| Comments: | Congrats on a great site!
I grew up watching this show and I loved it! When it was shown in the mornings a few years back I used to watch it, and if I couldn't because of work I would tape it and watch it when I got home. I used to live in Ferntree Gully, at the foot of the Dandenong Ranges, which is not far from where the later Channel 10 series was filmed. I remember one time when they were filming not far from where I lived, I think it was a car accident, and they blocked off the road so we had to go a different way. I really miss A Country Practice! For more episode guides have a look at this site. http://www.australiantelevision.net/acp/acp.html Keep up the good work. |

| Comments: | Wow this took me back! I had no idea you were such a conscientious fan. :-)
I am proud to say that I watched the famous Molly-death episode the first time it was transmitted, and yes it was indeed one of the defining televisual moments of my life. I have so many clear memories of the early years, but I admit to "losing the faith" later on, when the stories got a bit too involved and contrived. The early ones may have been corny, but they got you in! Goodness what nostalgia. I feel a tear coming on. Fatso, Doris, Esme, Vicki, Simon ... I miss you all. |

After starring in our favourite TV series, she went on to star in "Farscape" and, now, she is a regular cast member of "Stargate SG-1", in which she plays Vala Mala Doran. Well done, Claudia!:) |

| Comments: | Hi! I live in Australia.
A Country Practice will always have a special fondness with me, as I grew up with that show as a child and then as a youth. During my mid-teens, from 1989 to 1992, I wrote to the stars of the show. Many of the stars wrote to me and I still cherish those letters and autographs today. The stars who wrote to me include Brian Wenzel, Lorrae Desmond, Joyce Jacobs, Georgie Parker, Georgina Fisher, Jon Concannon, Anne Looby, Jamie Croft and Judith McGrath. It was during this time, I had posters of the show on my bedroom wall. Unfortunately, the show got axed and I moved on with the rest of my life. However, I always thought back to my youth, as I always felt safe in Wandin Valley and its characters. In fact, the social and political issues dealt with by this series influenced me to become a Social Worker, from which I am practicing today. In recent times, I bought series 1 and 2 of A Country Practice and I am in heaven!:) In Australia, there is a competition in which one can enter and visit a country destination. Imagine to my surprise when one of those destinations is Whyalla, South Australia!:) I live in Whyalla. In more ways than one, A Country Practice is connected to me. |

| Comments: | When I first heard that these were being released, I contacted MRA to ask whether they were being released over here (UK) and they don’t have the rights, so the answer is no.
I got mine from DVD Crave, and was very impressed with the service - received it 3 days after postage! Plus, with the relatively weak Aussie currency, it cost me about £16 each series. Bargain. Also, I have had no problems on my DVD player at all. Hope this helps. |

| Comments: | As far as I can tell, the DVDs really don't have any region coding on them (despite MRAs assertions that they are Region 4). I am able to play them on my computer's DVD player despite my DVD player being set for Region 1 and fans outside of Australia have been able to play them on their DVD players. Rather than waiting for them to come to the UK, you might want to order them from Australia (there are links to Australia sellers on the main WVBNH page). |

So it's fantastic to hear that it is popular. Everyone keep up the good work. |

| Comments: | Hi All ACP fans,
I see my little sister let the cat out of the bag regarding the upcoming launch of the DVD's. As the marketing manager looking after this, I can confirm it is true! MRA Entertainment will release the first two years on April 3rd, as two box sets, plus we are giving away 8 weekends for 2 in the country to tie in with the launch including a weekend at the Wandin Valley winery! We are hoping to be able to release further series of ACP over the next 12months. Series 2 has 1500 mins of footage so I hope you all enjoy it! |

| Comments: | Dear Adam (adamsumm),
there are no tours that I am aware of that take in the ACP sites. I can give you the whereabouts of a few of the places in the series though. The two storey brick building that you refer to is (or at least was) called the "Swallows Inn" or something like that. It is located almost directly opposite Windsor court house on the corner of North and Arndell Streets. The hospital is actually known as "Clare House" and is located in Clare Crescent at Oakville (not far from Windsor). As for the rest of the locations, you'll need to head to Pitt Town. You could basically call Pitt Town "Wandin Valley" for it is where the vast majority of outdoor shots took place. The opening iconic image that pans across the "valley" was shot behind the churches that are situated on the SW side of Bathurst St in Pitt Town. I hope all this helps and is of interest to you. If ever you are in the neighbourhood drop me a line and I'll point you in the right direction. Take care. |

| Comments: | I had been looking for any info on ACP DVDs and decided to look up ACP on the web to see if I could find any info and found your site! I can't believe there are "others' like me out there! I still think about the show and always wished that I could live in Wandin Valley and have all those wonderful people as my friends. Absolutely loved Dr Terrance Elliot and Shirley Gilroy! Such a wonderful town. I was fortunate to meet up with the majority of the cast at various promotional events in the 80's.
I am glad I have accessed this site and read the emails as now I see that the first 3 seasons are coming out on DVD - I will certainly line up to get the set! I rang up Channel 7 a couple of years ago when they took off ACP from the 0930 weekday timeslot and was told that the ratings were bad for that time of the morning! Can you believe that! Who cares about ratings at that time of the day! I also read of the death of Sophie Heathcote in the TV Week - what a shocker! Anyhow, I will keep on looking at this site on a regular basis from now onwards. Elizabeth |

| Comments: | I have just read the news of Sophie heathcote and i am stunned and saddened. I grew up with A Country Practice here in the U.K. and was always taking time off from school to watch the adventures of my heroes Cookie,Bob and Esme. Who could forget the wonderfull Loopy Lucy played by the lovely Georgie Parker and Sophie's Steve was just the dream come true for a boy of my age.
It was my favorate soap even better than Neibours or Home and Away put together and it was a shame that it finished after such a long run. Last of all i would like to thank everyone who was involved with A Country Practice for the sheer enjoyment that it brought me and that includes the actors who are sadly no longer with us. So Best Wishes to whoever reads this and all the very best. Lee Bevan. |

There is no TV shows on today which are as entertaining or interesting as A Country Practice was to watch. If there is going to be a DVD released in the future I would be one of the first to be buying it. It could be released as different seasons as other TV shows have come out. My all time favourite characters were, Esmae Watson, Terrence Elliott, Simon Bowen and Maggie Sloan to just name a few.
I really miss A Country Practice and love this site to remember the great memories of a great show. |

| Comments: | I was a huge fan of ACP back in the 80's.....my fave time was when Simon, Vicki, Brendan and Molly were all in the show. Doctor Elliott was wonderful - if only doctors could be so caring in real life! I hope this site continues....and it would be great if the forum got up and running...I shall keep looking back to check on this, as I'd be a regular contributor! |

| Comments: | When ACP was on in the UK I used to do shift work so most of the time I would tape the show and watch it later on.
I really liked ACP and sometimes wonder what the cast is up to nowadays. I have seen Maggie (Matron)in Neighbours but haven't seen any of the other characters, does anyone know what they are doing now? |

| Comments: | Whoaaa! A website about A Country Practice! This is TOOOOO cool! I am from Ireland but have lived in Sydney OZ for 15 years, just after ACP went off air. But 6 months ago Foxtel (cable TV in Australia) started running the 1985 series - and I became hooked. Unfortunately they only show the series leading up to Mollys death - and a little after - and keep repeating it - I wanna see the others goddammit! Myself and friends have this new saying whenever we meet - "poor Molly" and if we're amongst people who dont know what we're talking about - its hilarious! KEEP THIS SITE GOING! IT'S FAB!
Cheers PS: Poor Molly. |

| Comments: | Hi, I really thinink that ACP was one of the best programmes ever! In fact "alright Es?" is still a common catchphrase around our office! I would love to see repeats from the beginning on Channel 5. I have a vague recollection that Grananda Plus started showing them on Sky many moons ago, but not for long.
I got into ACP when there was a great mystery of who shot Dot's cow, but was completely hooked with the programme after Bob and Cookie's scam with Vlioozal the alien from Enezorek. Anybody else remember that one? I hope you maintain this site - I have added it to my favourites and will be checking back frequeently. Can't seem to confirm the mailing list - is this still running? I was very sad to hear of the death of "Bob." I always thought of him as the sort of bloke I would like to buy a pint for. I know it was just a character, but ACP was my escape from reality and for one hour a week, I used to be a resident of Wandin Valley. I can't imagine any other programme catching my imagination in th same way. Anyway, Sorry to go on - I just enjoyed sharing my thoughts on ACP, and it would be nice to hear from anybody else who feels the same. I thought I was the only one! |
