About this listen

Ready with his black bag, Dr Finlay sets out to remedy all manner of ailments suffered by his patients in the Scottish Highland town of Levenford.

In this complete BBC Radio collection, we meet the surprising Dr Finlay as he is welcomed to the practise with a black eye. Over the course of these series the early years of Dr Finlay are explored, as he gets to grips with the locals in the Scottish Highland town of Levenford. His patients range from the stingiest and most cunning widow in Scotland to a pantomime actress, and from a hen-pecked husband who disappears to the wife of a football hero. Then there are the Scobie sisters, who have managed to live together for fifteen years without speaking. Finlay tackles them all with compassion and his trademark Scottish humour.

Starring John Gordon Sinclair as Scotland's most celebrated doctor, along with Brian Pettifer, Celia Imrie, David Tennant and Stella Gonet.

Produced by Jeremy Howe and Vic Beeby
Dramatised by Sue Rodwell

If this were a mystery, it would encapsulate the cozy genre. It has everything: small Scottish town, faithful servants, local characters and a wry observation of the quirks of the human condition. Beautifully broadcast, it is a gem of the BBC storytelling, revealing the events in the life of a idealistic Scottish country doctor.

British nostalgia from a respected period writer

At last the complete collection is available. The characters and vignettes in this series are always full of old-fashioned charm, humor, and sometimes sadness. I grew to really love the various characters (brought to life by a fabulous cast) and found myself invested in their lives and stories. Well worth the listen!

An inviting and engrossing radio program.
