What is The Practice about?
The Practice was a 1985 British television soap opera produced for ITV by Granada Television, which aired for two series in 1985 and 1986. The series was first introduced as a twice-weekly medical drama in January 1985, becoming Granada's second regular networked soap opera along with Coronation Street, with the idea being that its hard-hitting storylines would be a competitor with the BBC's EastEnders which started airing the following month. The Practice was set in a GP's surgery in the fictional Manchester suburb of Castlehulme and had an initial run of 34 episodes airing for 30 minutes in an early evening slot on Friday and Sunday evenings throughout the Winter and Spring of 1985. However, the series did not perform as well as had been hoped and it disappeared from screens in May 1985. It returned for a second run of 13 one hour episodes between May and August 1986, this time airing in a 9pm slot on Friday evenings. After series two ended no further episodes were made. The series reflects a distinct GB style and perspective.
Release pattern and schedule for The Practice
The Practice has been releasing episodes between January 1985 and June 1986 across 2 seasons. So far there are 4 released episodes, giving you plenty of story to catch up on before the next drop. Historically there have been longer waits of around 17 months between seasons, which can explain why some fans search early for hints about the next release. Until a new date appears, June 1986 remains the latest confirmed release window for the show.
