About A Very Peculiar Practice

A Very Peculiar Practice ended on September 6, 1992, after its second season on BBC One. The series concluded its run over four years after it first premiered on May 21, 1986. The show’s final episode aired on the same day as its last episode of the second season, marking the end of its story.

The series was a comedy-drama with surreal elements that depicted the life of an idealistic young doctor, Stephen Daker, working at a university medical centre. The show explored the interactions of the staff, a group of misfits including the bisexual Rose Marie, the self-absorbed Bob Buzzard, and the aging Scot Jock McCannon, who led the team in the first season. It was known for its dark humor and satirical take on academic and medical institutions.

The cast featured Peter Davison as Dr. Stephen Daker, Graham Crowden as Jock McCannon, Barbara Flynn as Dr. Rose Marie, and David Troughton as Dr. Bob Buzzard.
