@@norajohn9734 Hi thanks for watching and you're comment I uploaded 3 episodes from 1963 last year .1 of them hit some audio problems but I managed it eventually it's called In The Heat of The Moment I remember once meeting Jamieson Clark in the 1980,s
Dr. Finlay’s Casebook is actually based on my great-grandfather, Finlay Macmillan, who was a doctor in Scotland, Wales and England in the 1920’s-1940’s. When he left the town in Wales in which he’d been the village doctor for a long time, he was given a letter from the town council thanking him and his wife (my great-grandmother) for their service to the town.
@billysinge8977 I think someone is romancing with you a bit. Your ancestor may have been a doctor and his name may have been Finlay but …these stories were fictional and the inspiration came from the writer *A.J Cronin’s* own experience as quoted in his Autobiography. *Adventures in Two Worlds* *“The characters and settings were created by A.J. Cronin, in a number of short stories based on his own experience as a doctor, and his autobiography "Adventures in Two Worlds".* Remember the words of Winston Churchill who said, *”not everything you read on the Internet is true “* 😊
Fabulous. We were lucky enough to visit Callander and to “Arden House” (now a guest house) a few years ago. It brought back so many lovely memories of this truly classic series from my childhood. Thank you for posting.
Alas , poor Bill Simpson passed away in 1986 at the age of only 55 . He had suffered from a heart condition for many years . His career after Dr Finlay never really took off - various parts both here and abroad kept him active without regaining the peak of his success. But like Barbara and Andrew he lives on in our memories - - Forever the young ,handsome , idealistic doctor.
Thanks for watching and your lovely comments. Bill Simpson lived near Maybole in Ayrshire I have had drinks in what was his local boozer I lived 50 miles from Maybole.
P.S. Just yesterday I watched the Kenneth Moore version of "The 39 Steps", and there is Dr. Finlay getting on the train as a non-speaking groom at Edinburgh, and later in the film Dr. Cameron is an irrascible Sheriff. Funny old world
I was seven years old on this date. Required viewing at home, as Mum was a Scot & desperate for windows on Scottish life. (Moved to Birmingham from Edinburgh.) The Vital Spark & the White Heather Club were also on our list. I had a bit of a crush on Dr Finlay! Wonderful actors, wonderful scripts and the modern re workings weren't half as good. (I have two Bourkes parakeets called Dr & Mrs Snoddie.) Thanks for this. Epic stuff! 📺♥️🤗
Remember this like it was yesterday, I was 8 years old in 1964, the stars were household names and remembered them very well, such a shame that they were no longer around.
@@ianleiper Quite plasid thinking about EastEnders, Emerdale, and the rest of which I have no telly, a shame that this series was not available on iTunes.
This was Arthur Swinson's 'Enemy of the People' - a beautifully constructed episode with echoes of Ibsen's classic 'municipal' play. We get something of the tension between private and public, the epidemiological riddle, the power relationships. It fades a little at the end, but the acting does justice to the script . . .
I can remember eating sausages raw as a child, they were delicious. Food was so much better then, I was never made ill by raw sausages. I woundn't dream of eating raw sausage meat now full of junk.
Thanks for watching I agree sausages in the 1930,s were a heap better than today's filled with all the s. to keep them preserved I till late 1980,s in summer time have em raw I am still here yet and free of Covid Thanks for your comments.
Ian Leiper do you have the full episode for 19 September 1963? I was watching the one you downloaded only to find that it cut out halfway through and started from the beginning again. You had not allowed comments so I couldn't say anything on that post. I do hope you can reload it because it was very interesting and I'd like to see the rest of it
@@ianleiper Thank you for making the effort, however I still can't watch it because of the very poor sound quality. I tried to watch it with the speakers on the very highest setting, but I still couldn't hear it properly so had to give up. Can anything be done about this?
@@ianleiper I may seen them all in the 1960’s, loved the concept, the actors, the theme music, thought that Tannochbrae was a real place, think that my late parents cooked me stew and dumplings.
@@ianleiper Not sure if your an afficienado of Casebook jokes, but here's a couple you can share if you know how to do the voices of the characters. #1 Janet 'Doctor Finley, Docter Finley! We've got a case of syphilis oot here!' Dr Finley - 'Bring it in Janet and we'll drink it!'... #2 Janet, knocking on the door 'Doctor Finley, would you like a cup o' tea?' Finley 'No, Janet!'. Janet again 'Dr Finley, would you like a wee piece 'n jam?'. Finley 'No Janet!'. Janet again 'Dr Finley, would you like a dram?'. Finley 'No Janet! And Janet...could you leave me alone while am having a shit!?' Learned those as a kid and HAD to get them off my chest 🤪
The remake is not as good, as they all have the same Christen names.I have ask I can not get my head around Janet wanting to get a new face, the 1964 face looks good to me, and why would she want a new sounding voice?
@@ianleiper I see this 1962 version series is available on DVD, I have to ask was is the world so handicap (brain-dead), why would they make it just region 2, and restrict the sales to just a small region 2 zone, if they made it a all region they can sell a lot more to all around the world on the same production run, if television stations around the world rebroadcast these, I would understand it, but it is in monochrome for a start. And as I said before when they remake the series, it would be better if they changed the christen names (keep the same surnames) and make it look as if it is the children of the first original series.
@@ianleiper By the way I have gone for the FBI the series made by Quinn Martin but I can get it on a "All region" DVD it is a great series, I have most of the series, but if it came out on either region 1 or region 2 as I am in region 4 forget it, because it does not have any resale value,
Only came across this series now, loved watching it when I was young and loving it now too

And how does AJ Cronin the author come into this picture

Probably my Favourite Episode. Thank Heavens I can still get a complete Episode of Dr Finlay’s Casebook on RUclips. Thank you.
Unable to remember the episodes, I was 8 in 1964, smashing theme tune - smashing times - great series used to watch it as a child.

They were smashing times when I was a child, always watched this fir to the theme tune Trevor Duncan’s fabulous theme tune.

Hi I have the White Heather Club lifestory and Jimmy Shand in Fife 1986 on You Tube.

Thanks for watching Janet was a Gem I saw her on This is your Life around 1965 with her family from The Aran Island of the coast of Galway Ireland
