Peak Practice

Bring me your huddled masses, your weary and oppressed, stick them in Doctor Will Preston's catchment area and they'll be right as rain in no time. Peak Practice's Doctor Will seems to possess a miraculous ability to resolve any problem his patients have, placing the show firmly at number two in the feelgood tosh chart after Heartbeat. That said, last week's episode of PP involving relationships between young Down's Syndrome people was probably the best episode for years - but it was the exception rather than the rule. Peak Practice really belongs in the Sunday Evening Comfort Zone when everyone needs a bit of cosseting before the ...  Read the complete review

Peak Practice I'm sure is watched by as many people who hope they will see someone who has the imaginary illness and symptoms they think is afflicting them, as viewers who follow it because of the story lines. It is quite addictive, like a lot of the drugs they supposedly prescribe. The hours the three men and one woman doctor works must be tremendous. They go to patients homes all times of the day and night. They never complain. They follow this up with check-ups in their places of work; see them in the pub. When they are to go to hospital for treatment, the doctors sometimes ferry them there, and hang around whilst the operations are in progress. Maybe ...  Read the complete review

A moderately good drama but every series seems to see a different partner in the partnership as the partners seem to disappear quite quickly! Every episode has a 'theme' running through it and this week was no different. It was Crones and they give a telephone number at the end of the programme which is a good idea. I must admit though its like when you look through a health book every illness and sympton seems to fit what you have got! I dont think this latest series is as good as the last one though. Lets hope it improves. ...  Read the complete review

Just watched another episode of Peak Practice, to be quite honest I enjoy the program. I do however find some episodes quite "Oh covering this issue now hasn't that just been done on another program". One thing I find is that the people who research for the show have their work cut out for them. They cover a wide veriety of different illnesses from, cancer, anorexia, drug abouse and many other story lines to go along with them. In the last series a middle aged woman was raped and left scared (On the side of her face). I have just seen the show and it actually is following on an old story line, how she is coping etc. ...  Read the complete review

Peak Practise was first screened over 6 years ago. When it first started, it was fresh, dramatic, romantic even at times. First screened with Kevin Whateley and Amanda Burton, as the main stars, it had the right chemistry. It had the usual plot of girl and boy meet, girl and boy have troubles, etc etc. The series grew to almost cult viewing with everyone wanting to know 'will they, won't they' Over the years however, the cast have come and gone and it is hard to maintain the rapport, that viewers build up with the characters. No sooner have they grown to like and enjoy watching the latest docs, competing for each others heart, then they are ...  Read the complete review
