Trivia

When the scriptwriters wrote the cliffhanger ending to season twelve, in which Alex and Claire fell (presumably to their deaths) over the side of a quarry, they expected that there would be another season. However, the producers subsequently decided not to make another season, feeling that Peak Practice had outlived its usefulness, and leaving the fate of these two characters forever unknown.

Goofs

Alice North had her gall-bladder removed twice during the series: firstly in Series 1 Peak Practice: Listening Skills and then again in Series 5 Peak Practice: Letting Go.

User Reviews

a wonderful series

Peak Practise is one of the most enjoyable tv series that is on ITV. It is easy to watch and very understandable. You can watch it with all the family and everyone will enjoy it. The writers do a great job with the character they make you feel like you know them all, you feel for the characters when their hurt or upset, you cry with them you laugh with them and most of all you can ralate to them and their problems. Peak Practise is set in such a lovely place it has great scenery that you'll fall in love with. As a true follower I can say watch this and you won't be sorry you did, whether your 18 or 38 theres something for everyone.
