RFDS: Royal Flying Doctor Service

Based in Australia’s red heart, the modern-day heroes of the Royal Flying Doctor Service navigate private lives as turbulent and profound as the heart stopping emergencies they attend. This series captures the beauty and brutality of Australia’s vast centre where the doctors, nurses, pilots and support staff of the RFDS negotiate the unique challenges of emergency retrievals across some of the most inhospitable places in the country.

Directed by Imogen Banks, Ian Meadows, Mark Fennessy, RFDS: Royal Flying Doctor Service leans on a strong ensemble — Emma Hamilton, Stephen Peacocke, Rob Collins — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2021.
