Amongst the cast were Alfred Sandor, Tim Page, Cornelia Frances, Alan Dale, Mark Holden, John Walton, Peta Toppano, Bartholomew John, Dave Gray, Gwen Plumb, Chris King, Bunney Brooke, Delvene Delaney, Joanne Samuel, Lynda Stoner and Paula Duncan.
The Young Doctors was shown in numerous international locations, including the United Kingdom, North America, France and Spain.
Several years ago it was due to be revived by Nine but it did not proceed.

This show was such a big deal in New Zealand. I once wrote a comedy parody of it for our school Talent Quest.
Nine should add this to their slate (even if on 9Go) They need a stripped soap 5 days a week. Or they could reimagine it a large Wentworth. I would love to see it again.
I meant a la Wentworth
THe NZ soap Shortland Street, is pretty much an updated version of The Young Doctors, albiet with Kiwi accents.
An early evening ritual for me, back in the day. My parents had a hard time getting me to the dinner table when it was on. That Dr Holland (Peter Lachran) was so dreamy, wonder what he’s doing now?
Didn’t The Sullivans start on the same night?
not the same night – but could have been the same(non-ratings) week
The Sullivans began 15 November
Thanks Andrew, so a week later. I remember them both were originally back to back in the evenings over non-ratings before they settled into their regular timeslots.
Loved this show so much.
