| | A Country Practice |
 | | The mainstay of narrative development was romance, the most notable instance being the evolving relationship of Simon and Vicky which culminated, at the high point of the series' ratings, in their wedding in 1983. |
 | | Particularly in the medical area, A Country Practice was overtly pedagogical, providing basic information on problems such as heart failure, leukemia, epilepsy, alcoholism and leprosy. |
 | | Working from the relative safety of this base in questions of technical expertise, it also took positions on more controversial issues, suggesting for example, in one notable episode, that unemployment cannot be blamed on a lack of motivation of the unemployed themselves. |
