Meet the Cast of A Country Practice

"A Country Practice" was a beloved Australian television drama series that captivated audiences for over a decade. The show was the brainchild of James Davern of JNP Productions, who wrote the pilot episode and entered it into a script contest for the network in 1979. His efforts paid off as the pilot came in third place and won a merit award. The show premiered on the Seven Network on November 18, 1981, and ran for an impressive 1,058 episodes until November 22, 1993. The series was produced in ATN-7's production facility in Epping, Sydney, and was filmed on location in the charming town of Pitt Town.

The show's cast was made up of talented actors who brought their characters to life in a way that resonated with viewers. Shane Porteous played the role of Terence Elliot, while Grant Dodwell portrayed Simon Bowen. The chemistry between the cast members was undeniable, and their performances added depth and authenticity to the show. The characters were well-developed and relatable, which made the audience invested in their stories and rooting for their success.

After its lengthy run on the Seven Network, "A Country Practice" was picked up by Network Ten in April 1994. However, the Ten series featured a mostly new cast and was filmed on location in Emerald, Victoria. Despite the change in scenery and cast, the show failed to replicate the success of its predecessor and was canceled after just 30 episodes in November 1994. Nonetheless, "A Country Practice" remains a beloved classic in Australian television history, known for its compelling storylines, talented cast, and picturesque filming locations.
