New soap funny yet serious
It has been called the funniest show on Australian television, although it is not strictly a comedy series. “A Country Practice,” the Seven Network’s Logie Award-winning series which begins on Two. at 2.30 p.m. today, has captured the Australian sense of humour and combined
j it with human interest stories and social issues. t Much of the humour r stems from antics of three of tbe show’s stars — Grant Dodwell, Gordon ’ Piper and Syd Heylen. On > and off the set these ac- ; tors have an easy-going t rapport and are full of . joie de vivre. > “We have a great time 1 working in the series,”
says Grant Dodwell who plays Dr Simon Bowen. “A lot of the subtle humour comes from everyone enjoying playing their roles. There’s a good feeling on the set. It’s got rhythm and flexibility.” “A Country Practice” has been a big success in Australia where it screens in prime time. It also screens in Britain.
