Dr. Finlay

Dr. Finlay is the hero of a series of stories by Scottish author A. J. Cronin. The stories were used as the basis for the long-running BBC television series Dr. Finlay's Casebook, screened from 1962 to 1971. The stories, based on autobiographical notes, centered on Dr. Finlay's general medical practice in a small Scottish country town called Tannochbrae.

The main characters were Dr Finlay, a junior partner in the practice, played by Bill Simpson; Dr Cameron, the craggy senior partner, played by Andrew Cruikshank, Janet, their unflappable housekeeper and receptionist at Arden House, played by Barbara Mullen, and Dr Snoddie, Finlay's crusty detractor and Janet's admirer, played by Eric Woodburn.
