A Country Practice - Episode 416 'Let the Sun Shine In - Part II' Written by Forrest Redlich, Directed by Leigh Spence. Originally broadcast on the Seven Network Australia in 1986. This video is from the Scottish Television broadcast from Friday 2nd October 1992. This is my personal favourite due to the acting, storyline, incidental music which just fitted the episode perfectly. Apologies for the quality. This video is from an old VHS tape. Unfortunately I don't have the other episodes making up this particular 6 episode storyline
