Series One Dr Alan Finlay is a young medical student working in a country practice in the Scottish village of Tannochbrae, under the tutelage of the experienced Dr Cameron. The show’s success was down to the compelling storylines, and excellent casting. The young and forward-looking Dr Finlay is played by the dapper Bill Simpson, while his senior medical partner, the slightly staid but highly pragmatic Dr Cameron, is portrayed by the veteran actor Andrew Cruickshank. Janet, their unflappable.
