Dr. Finlay's Casebook: Omnibus

Product Information

Cameron was played by Brian Pettifer, and Janet was played initially by Katy Murphy, and then by Celia Imrie. Cronin has ensured that Dr Finlay is a character with whom most people can identify and this level of realism and the humour with which it is presented is what makes the book so readable.

The characters were revived by ITV from 1993-96 and were adapted again for BBC radio in 2001 and 2002. The character Dr Finlay first appeared in Cronin's novella Country Doctor and in several subsequent short stories published in Hearst's International Combined with Cosmopolitan magazine from 1935 to 1939. A Bill Simpson Fan Club was set up, Andy Stewart's Dr Finlay was in the Hit Parade for five weeks, and Andrew Cruickshank was invited as a guest of honour at the British Medical Association's annual dinner to speak on medical matters as if he were a real GP.

Many of his books were made into films including The Stars Look Down, The Citadel, The Keys of the Kingdom, and The Green Years. I picked this up from the Mobile Library Can back in February to listen to on my commutes to and from work, then the world changed. This is, however, part of his charm; it is certainly easy to see why Dr Finlay has remained such a popular character over the years.
