A CORNEY PRACTICE
Australian MAD Super Special #45, 1983
w & a: Darren Pracy

Its basic premise was nothing more it was a medical practice set in the rural area of Wandin Valley. Dr. Terrence Elliot (Shane Porteous) was the main doctor, Simon Bowen (Grant Dodwell) was another doctor, Shirley Gillroy (Lorrae Desmond) was the receptonist. Like any show where a character owns a pet, it's breakout star was a wombat named Fatso.

Brendan Jones (Shane Withington) was a nurse with Sister Judy (Wendy Strehlow) a worker there.

Vernon “Cookie” Locke (Syd Heylen) was the hospital cook and Esme Watson (Joce Jacobs) was a recurring patient.

Brendan's wife was Molly (Anne Tenney).

Vicki (Penny Cook) was a Vet.

Bob (Gordon Piper) was another regular patient.

Number 96 was another Australian soap about an apartment complex. MAD's Jack Davis did the ad for the attempted American version that lasted only one episode.(see bottom)

If anyone has a better copy I'll switch it in.
