DR. FINLAY: THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF A BLACK BAG
This series about Dr. Finlay was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in six episodes in October/November 2002. The stories are based on the book Country Doctor by A.J. Cronin. The novella was made into a television show, Dr. Finlay's Casebook, broadcast on the BBC from 1962 - 1971.

The new series was produced in Bristol and dramatised by Sue Rodwell.
