The Dr. Blake Mysteries

The Mrs. and I have been watching this lately on Netflix and do like it very much. We just love the sarcasm Dr. Blake.....very enjoyable light mystery with a touch of good humour.  
 
Anyone else watch this?

Not yet.

The Mrs. and you might like this......decent storylines and the acting is quite good. I think it's set somewhere in the 50's (post WW2). Give it a shot mate.

actually,it is the Aboriginal name the local Wathaurang people gave it meaning "resting place" ,possibly because of the abundance of local fauna making it a valuable resting place for their nomadic hunting life.
also the site of the Eureka Stockade,where the miners fought the troopers over mining licences-Australia`s only armed rebellion. 
as for "early little dick Aussies"-they were mostly english rejects but due to all the gold dust in the air we soon bred out that anatomical deficiency,the only side effect being massive testicular development that is still evident today. 
cheers

They are thinking of axing this now and not making any more series. I really liked it too. We signed a partition in the Ballarat Art Gallery recently to keep it going. One can often see them shooting scenes for the show around Ballarat. 

I dont watch TV shows.
 
I ought to get netflix.

What's the reason for axing it? The reviews all seem very favourable, so they must be generating some money on it.....rooooight?

 
from the horses mouth:
 
"In a statement, ABC’s head of scripted production Sally Riley said: “Dr Blake has had a sensational run on the ABC and we feel that the time is right to go out while we are still on top. We have a fantastic final season still to come and we look forward to wrapping the series up with a satisfying movie-length finale, as we bid farewell to an Australian TV icon.”
But the decision has shocked and confused fans, as well as the star of the series Craig McLachlan, who can’t understand why the ABC has axed its highest-rating local show.
In its last season, The Doctor Blake Mysteries averaged more than 1.6 million viewers, making it the broadcaster’s second most watched regular series, just behind Doc Martin. The series has also been an international success story, shown in more than 130 countries around the world, including on the BBC."
 
maybe that`s what happens when a taxpayer funded broadcaster acts for apparently artistic reasons rather than ratings or profits.
5 seasons and a movie length finale is pretty much par for the course for a drama these days.
R.I.P. is my opinion.
cheers

Probably way too indifferent and politically incorrect which has all the Trump'ians (what's the aussie equivalent?) worried that their hairdo will fly the wrong way and show that it is just a wig!

hey Mosh,i am pleased to say that there is currently no aussie equivalent-sure, we have some borderline nutters but the Donald is in a league of his own.
