Post-War Scotland - touching tales fromia village doctor's casebook.

He survived the war, only to find himself fighting more challenging battles on the home front. One of the most popular series ever to air on the BBC, Doctor Finlay returns in this powerful, all-new adaptation from Masterpiece Theatre.

It's 1946 and a post-war period of hope and expectation is dawning across Europe, except, that is, in the Scottish town of Tannochbrae. Dr. John Finlay has left behind the senseless bloodshed and death that darkened his stint in the Royal Army Medical Corps to return to his old life in that small town. Finlay's homecoming is not what he expects. His irascible colleague, Dr. Cameron, is unchanged- just older -but their once thriving medical practice has become rundown. His fiancée has given up waiting for him. Petty politics, poverty and ignorance still infect the town, as does a deadly outbreak of disease.

As Finlay struggles to treat the frailties and suffering of his patients, he finds himself called upon to treat their ailing hearts as well. Yet, his gift for healing will be put to its greatest test as he works to put together the pieces of his own shattered life.

Based on the beloved characters created by A. J. Cronin, Doctor Finlay is an unforgettable journey into the world of healing, humanity.... and hope.
