September TV Finales - RFDS - Season One

RFDS: Royal Flying Doctor Service is not to be confused with the long running 80's/90's Channel Nine series The Flying Doctors.

Airing on the Seven Network from mid August, we got the finale this week after eight episodes and seven weeks.


Production on RFDS commenced in Broken Hill in March 2020. The series being written by Ian Meadows and produced by Imogen Banks for Endemol Shine.

Starring Emma Hamilton, Ash Ricardo, Kate Mulvany, Rodney Afif, Rob Collins (HOT!), Jack Scott, Sofia Nolan, Thomas Weatherall,  Stephen Peacocke (HOT! and from Home & Away/Five Bedrooms) and Ash Hodgkinson.

I had my reservations about the series. However I was pleasantly surprised. The scenery, Stephen Peacocke/Rob Collins made the show something to look at and tune into week to week.

I am not 100% sure if the series would return for a second run, with Aussie dramas struggling to keep over the first season huddle on network TV. Whilst Peacocke's Five Bedrooms has been renewed twice, but moving to Ten's streaming platform instead. This allows the show to push more boundaries whilst not being slotted in at some strange time slot week to week.

If you are looking for an easy to watch eight part Aussie series, give RFDS a roll. It's a hell of a lot better than Neighbours & Home & Away. Whilst not being as groundbreaking as Wentworth.

Until next time, Nine Perfect Strangers and Power Book III will both be concluding this weekend.
