Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Peak Practice was an ITV Medical Drama produced by Central Television. Despite it being one of the most popular drama series in the UK during the The '90s, the turn of the century saw its ratings decline until ITV decided to cancel it after the eighth series.Set in the fictional town of Cardale in the very real Peak District area of Derbyshire, the show focused on the lives of the town’s G.P (General Practitioner's) Doctors' surgery and their patients, and was well known for heaping misery upon misery on all of them.The show originally starred Kevin Whatley and Amanda Burton, however by the time the series was ended, almost none of the original cast was left.

Anyone Can Die: And not just the patients. The show killed off at least three Doctors throughout its run.

Crapsack World: Cardale might look like Arcadia, but if the endless amounts of death, disasters, traumas (both physical and emotional), injuries, diseases, illnesses, family and marital problems were anything to go by, it certainly wouldn't be a place you would actually want to live in a hurry, and the Trauma Conga Line wasn't limited to just the patient's.

But I Can't Be Pregnant!

But I Can't Be Pregnant!: One episode featured the pub landlady discovering she is pregnant after a urine sample comes back positive. Both she and her husband are surprised because they are middle-aged with adult children, and the landlady was menopausal.note It is possible to still have your periods when you are pregnant. It turns out she isn't pregnant at all, but this is only discovered at the scan in hospital. The period she thought she just had was actually her miscarrying the baby, and because it had happened just before she took the urine sample, the hormone levels in it were still high enough to record a false positive.
