h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Although they have a lot of medical cases with the medical drs being charlotte (taking over from mitch), they also have surgery on ward 17 - in fact they've just about had everything from bowel resection n appendectomy to cardiothoracic surgery (ben in one of the last episodes)!! n all pretty much by one surgeon the legendary forlano with his trust sidekick kylie (before she left)!!! Lol in my experience of hospitals, althought the surgeons all think they are god, they tend to stick to one field of surgery!!
Still, I hope they bring back the next series soon, lol it is much better than murder she wrote!! I'm having to start work after doctors now!! N me n my house mates can no longer have debates on what we think is wrong with the pts!!
lol btw, being a paramedic, are you not jealous of the nickname 'ambos'?? lol or do ppl over here call you that as well??

In Belgium I've been able to see more of the series. I haven't been able to see the first episodes so I think the Australians didn't sell the first seasons. Next week season 9 will kickoff on a belgian channel 'Vitaya' so there is lots more to come for you. I hope they will be broadcasted soon because I liked watching old episodes without subtitles to distract me.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring back All Saints. Why not put it on BBC2 instead of all of the awful repeats that are constantly screened during the evening, why is it that the BBC always shelves decent TV for dia repeats of cash in the attic, murder she wrote etc.....

I absolutely agree - it would be great to know even more of the juicy backgrounds to the various storylines. Undoubtedly the BBC could get hold of the earlier series for not too high a cost! At least we could get hold of our daily Oz-fix! Pretty-please!!

I agree with the comments about All Saints. I had just got into the series and the characters, went on holiday for two weeks, and when I came back found "Murder She Wrote" in that time slot! Have seen that series so many times. So please please please bring back All Saints, it's brilliant!!

I think "ambos" is a purely Oz term. I don't think we have a nickname over here (although I can certainly think of a few and none of them printable on a nice forum like this )
I love it how everyone in the cast ends up taking a turn on the ward no matter what's wrong with them - smoke inhalation? stabbed in the guts? miscarrying? Come on down to Ward 17 where we deal with everything and anything and more besides. It's daft as hell but at least the cast are fun.

Greetings all

I was trawling the internet myself to find a return date and look what I found, so I thought I'd share it with you. You'll have to copy and paste the link into your browser.

Aren't I a good little newbie??!!

Not long to wait
