Very sad to hear the news today that Hazel Ellerby (Peak Practice's Chloe White) passed away earlier this year. Hazel was a delight and it was great to see her appear in so many other shows as well as Peaks.

I'm slowly making my way through the fifth series of 90's medical drama #Dangerfield. I like how for the title sequence, Dr Paige's name plate has been moved to the top when in reality it is at the bottom in eps (as it should be for being the new Doctor in the practice). Ah the little things... 😆
