Bill Shore is a successful plastic surgeon with his own practice in London, proud owner of a brand spanking new Bentley car and everything is well with his world. However everything is not well in the worlds of his wife Lisa and his neglected children Kate and Harvey and so Lisa annouces that she is leaving him and taking the kids to the small island of Hildasay (Population 326) and if he wants to save their marriage he must go with her. Bill is therefore forced to leave his position for the next six months and join his family on an island with stunning scenery, amiable residents and peaceful lifestyle. His idea of a living hell.
Distant Shores is a dramedy first shown in the United Kingdom on ITV in January 2005. Like the similar fish out of water dramedies, Northern Exposure and Doc Martin, it focuses on the difficulties of an unwillingly-transplanted metropolitan doctor who is forced to adjust to a rural environment.
The show's recurring cast is unusual for featuring major actors from three significant British franchises — Doctor Who, Blake's 7 and the James Bond film series. The programme itself is notable for being a rare example of a show to have an entire series shelved in its country of origin following the completion of post-production.
The first episode of Distant Shores aired on January 05, 2005.
The last episode of Distant Shores aired on June 27, 2008.
