    • Quotes

      [reading patients' comment cards in the family-planning clinic]

      Mickie Hendrie: [smirking] We've got some really good comments.

      Donna Jackson: "I never knew you could get free condoms here. Now I won't have to re-use my old ones." How gross is that?

    • Crazy credits
      Beginning with episode (#11.10)} the credits were redesigned so the actors who played the main characters were listed (though without their character names) before the episode, and the actors and character names for the minor or guest characters were listed at the end. The opening credits were identical for every episode and included actors even if they did not appear in that episode.

    6/10

    Good in the early years, but the quality dropped off with time.

    In its early years this show was essential viewing, it definitely took me away from Casualty, arguably it was the better show. The stories were engaging, the cast were excellent, the whole thing felt well made and tightly written, the early years of the show I'd class as an 8/10, however,

    It its latter years, the quality crashed, it turned into a melodramatic soap opera, it was such a shame, the original tightly written storylines transformed into something more fitting of an early afternoon soap opera.

    It was always well made and authentic looking. If you get the chance to see the earlier episodes, I'd say they're still worth seeing.

    I was sad to see the show axed, but it's fair to say it was long since on borrowed time, it ran out of steam many years before it ended. The latter years I'd rate as 4/10.

    Overall, 6/10.
