Distant Shores - The Complete First Series

Broadcast on ITV1 in 2005, the highly acclaimed comedy drama Distant Shores stars Peter Davison (A Very Peculiar Practice) as Dr Bill Shore, a successful plastic surgeon based in London. When Bill accepts a posting as the GP on the remote North Sea island of Hildasay, however, he could not have imagined the humourous exploits he and his family would encounter.

Tits, bums and tummy tucks were all in days work for one of London's top plastic surgeons Dr Bill Shore. However when one night he returns home having spent the day knee deep in artificial breasts he realises that all is not well with family life.

When Bill's lovely wife Lisa (Samantha Bond) tells him to accept an opportunity on the remote North Sea island of Hildasay as the island's GP, for the sake of his family, Bill reluctantly accepts; but he could never have foreseen the impact the lifestyle change would have on his family and their complex web of relationships!
