Doctor Finlay
A. J. Cronin's short stories about the mythical hero Dr. Finlay served as the inspiration for the television show Doctor Finlay, which airs in the United Kingdom. It is a continuation of the popular BBC series, Dr. Finlay's Casebook, which this book will follow. After John Finlay has completed his military service, the story takes place in the 1940s. Early plotlines involve the establishment of the new National Health Service and the updating of the medical practice located at Arden House in Tannochbrae, which is located in Scotland. Annette Crosbie plays the role of Dr. Finlay's housekeeper, Janet, while David Rintoul plays the role of Dr. Finlay's semi-retired practice partner, Dr. Cameron. Finlay's assistant, Dr. Neil, who is portrayed by Jason Flemyng, and Finlay's new colleague, Dr. Napier, who is portrayed by Jessica Turner, are both key players in the story. The series is a production of Scottish Television and was shot in Auchtermuchty, which is located in the Scottish county of Fife. It was broadcast on the Masterpiece Theatre program on PBS in the United States.
