Biography
Australian early-evening soap opera set in the fictional Albert Memorial Hospital in Sydney and primarily concerned with romances between younger members of the hospital staff, rather than typical medical issues and procedures. When the series ended after 1398 episodes, it held the record of Australia's longest-running commercial television drama serial, which was previously held by Number 96. The program was shown in numerous international locations, throughout the United Kingdom and North America, and also in France, Spain and New Zealand.
The series was originally broadcast on the Nine Network and produced by the Reg Grundy Organisation, it aired from Monday, 8 November 1976 until Wednesday, 30 March 1983.
Notably, the serial featured a very young Russell Crowe in his first acting role in an episode originally aired in 1977; appropriately, he played a young boy called Russell.
Several cast members from The Young Doctors including Judy McBurney, Genevieve Lemon, Babs McMillan, Tottie Goldsmith and Peter Bensley all went into leading roles in Prisoner after The Young Doctors finished production.
