Seven’s Dr Blake Mysteries to go ahead without Craig McLachlan

I am really saddened Craig McLachlan will be let go from the series, it has become one of my favorite shows, with all of the hoopla here in the USA re women making accusations against male celebrities I guess I am not surprised, my goodness, we’ll wake up one day to TV shows and movies where there will be no male stars………….I do not believe for one minute that the majority of these accusations are legitimate, women, girls suck up to their male counterparts and bosses to get ahead in their fields, to ensure they get the part then at a later convenient time come the allegations that end up ruining the accused’s lives.

So happy to hear they will go forward, but very, very sad that they are punishing Craig. Its also sad that no one will actually stand up for him. So much fear affecting people these days.

Not worth watching without Craig McLachlan. ..he makes the show!

Disgusting decision, especially as investigation found no evidence of misconduct. His name can be ruined by false allegations and then the wrong is multiplied many times over by dropping him from the show. I will vote against this decision by never watching your production again until Craig McLachlan returns.

Ridiculous without McLachlan. The , ” me too ” movement has set women back. IMO. I grew up in the days they are complaining about. Now I’m not saying rapist and lowlife womanizer’s like tRump , Cosby, Kevin Spacy shouldn’t be put in their place and held accountable, but some times woman need to take responsible for their own behavior. If you don’t like the treatment or environment then just leave and stand ypur ground. Big difference. Spacey was taking advantage , but where were the kids parents? They have some responsibility. You were wrong to leave McLachlan out. No show without him. All the characters a must for this show. If he’s out, I will not bother to watch it even tough I like all the others.

Where’s my comment? Without C.McLachlan…no show even though the other caters are all interesting and necessary.

The days of lynching are long gone. Where’s the proof?
I agree with the above comments.

Wont watch it now Craig made the show
If he is not in it how will it be Dr Blake

It cannot be Dr Blake Mysteries without Dr Blake and no other actor could ever play Lucien Blake…no Craig McLachlan not worth watching.
I fully agree with Brenda Hale and her take on the whole situation here and overseas.

Dr Blake Mysteries without Craig Will not be worth watching, absolutely love how he portrayed the character and brickbats to Channel 7 for dropping him on as yet unproved allegations. I won’t be watching! Bring back Craig Channel 7 instead of wishing to appear you are doing the right thing by women! It’s bulldust!?

Totally agree Cheryl. I’m sick of these me too movements.

I will no longer be watching the show it won’t be the same with out Craig M. This is my favorite show .

I totally agree with previous comments.
What annoys me enormously is that these men are slandered in the press before anything proven against them
What about the producers directors etc. Shouldn’t they be held accountable if these young women are being so badly treated?
I loved this show also but will not watch it again without Craig.

The show certainly won’t be the same without Craig McLachlan. His portrayal of Lucien Blake was magnificent.

I agree with all the comments and I’m so glad I’m not the only one who feels this way. Craig was cleared of inappropriate behavior on the set of Dr. Blake, so why cut him out of the show. I’m glad the rest of the cast and crew will be able to continue but feel it’s horribly unfair to Craig to leave him out. Especially when no proof has been offered on any of the allegations. Dr. Blake won’t be the same without Dr. Blake. I’m very disappointed and won’t be watching the new telemovies if they don’t bring Craig back.

Totally gutless to take off the main reason we watch this show because of some [edited under Mumbrella’s comment moderation policy]. So fed up and disgusted with all these chronic complaints of sexual misconduct .
[Edited under Mumbrella’s comment moderation policy]. Enough is enough. Stop wasting everybody’s and your time with this silliness and get your ” money maker ” back =
Craig Mc. You don’t and can’t and exist without making money so get him back like yesterday . A Texas admirer of the show

Just did. Aren’t you going to print it out

Why bother to produce more when the main character that made the show what it is isn’t there. How stupid!! Without Craig it won’t even be a Dr. Blake Mystery!!! Who would want to watch that? Not me for sure.

I really enjoyed the series and was looking forward to the new movie. I agree with the other comments that I will not be watching without Craig being involved. He is Doctor Blake!

I am not happy I will not be watching the show from now on sham on seven

What a shame,a great show has been tarnished by over sensitive theatrical reactions to bawdy? humor. Bring on the smelling salts for these delicate creatures.Or maybe financial compensation may help ease the trauma but meanwhile bring back Craig, he is the key character that compliments the other roles so well acted by the cast.
Stand together, refuse to do the new episodes without Craig and give the viewers want they want.

.

Feeling very sorry for Craig. Has not been found guilty of any offence. The show can not & never would be the same without him, but big corporations like TV channels are only interested in profits.

Please keep approaching 7…..there really needs to be a better explanation of why this decision was made. They were quick to report on the defamation case so I suppose that is showing support. Fans would like to think Craigs return is planned.

I wish the police would finalize their investigations.

The truth will come out.

Guys… if we all boycott the next telemovie then Craig won’t have a show to come back to once he’s been cleared. I know we all love his character and want to support him, but he’s given this move his own support and so we should do the same. They’re not killing off his character, he’s just temporarily elsewhere until Craig’s situation is resolved. My initial reaction was the same as yours, but we need to think long term, and please let’s not give the network an excuse to drop the show because viewing figures are low. A lot of people fought hard to keep the show when it was dropped by ABC. Please don’t let their efforts go to waste.

The sad part is that Craig has to go through all this. Trial by media has ruined many lives. The only reason for him not to be part of the series is if he needs time to work with his solicitor on his case. In the end, there will be no winners. All will have been harmed in one way or another. Unfortunately there will always be some that will believe the worst. It has become apparent that ABC no longer trusts the person who broke the story. She has shifted her direction from actors to other targets. It seems that a course in media ethics would be appropriate for the news outlets. What happened to verifying facts before reporting?

Craig was cleared in regards to The Blake Mysteries so why not have him on the show … it is ridiculous! At the same time happy that the show will continue and has not been cancelled!! BlakeArmy worked so hard to keep the show!!! Craig has given his blessing on this so I will support his decision! If we don’t watch the telemovie the show WILL be cancelled due to low ratings! So think of the bigger picture please …

i TOO WILL NOT BE WATCHING WITHOUT CRAIG NO OFFENCE TO THE REST OF THE CAST. bUT WITHOUT CRAIG IT NO LONGER HOLDS ANY INTEREST FOR ME. BRING HIM BACK!!

won’t succeed without Craig. Might as well not produce it

let’s investigate the women who made these complaints

Craig is THE ONE AND ONLY DR. BLAKE. Both Craig and the cast have a synergy that makes the show so wonderful and I just can’t envision anyone else in that role. The show is so well written and I think it would be an injustice to not only Craig, Cast and crew and to the viewers (I am in the USA) if this show is cancelled. The writing is brilliant and it would be such a loss if this show was no longer. It really is a BLAKE family and that family would just fall apart if Craig wasn’t there. You can feel the love of Craig and the cast and it is finally nice to have such great television that is not loaded with bloody violence, four letter words, etc. We need a show like this since it represents what TV should be. I’ve gotten so many people turned on to this show and they feel the exact same way! We love you Craig as well as cast and crew! Craig, we want you back!!

The show will not be the same without him. He is the central character. I will no longer watch until he returns.

Without him, there is no Dr. Blake. Will not watch without him.

Dr. Blake is the center of this brilliant show, and Craig McLachlan is Dr. Blake. I will support the telemovie in the hope that it’s a way to bring back its heart and soul – Craig McLachlan.

There is no Dr. Blake Mysteries without Dr. Blake (Craig McLachlan). They can’t possible call it “Dr. Blake Mysteries” without him – right ?!? Given that an independent investigation resulted in NO EVIDENCE to support his accusers’ allegations – I’m surprised that the network saw fit to let him go, ANYway. Pretty damned gutless. If Mr. McLachlan is not once more leading the cast – then add me to the growing number of people who won’t be watching the show.

PS – The same thing happened to Ryan Seacrest – the Host of American Idol, the Co-host of “Live – With Kelly & Ryan,” the Host of the annual New Year’s Eve party in Times Square in New York – and Host of his own daily radio show. About as high-profile as you can get in the US entertainment industry. But the difference is – HIS network stood by him – his accuser backed down (it was a cash grab) . . . and he is still working . . .

My wife and I love this show, but definitely won’t be watching it without Craig. The guy hasn’t done anything wrong.

It’s not the Dr Blake set accusations that are Craig’s main problem. It’s what he’s alleged to have done during a stage production of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. If the police find the most serious of those accusations to be true, he’s likely to go to jail.

Hmmm – what a curiously curated bunch of comments. Really, Mumbella? The majority of thinking humans believe that #metoo is a useful movement. If you live with a world view that “girls suck up to their male counterparts and bosses to get ahead in their fields, to ensure they get the part then at a later convenient time come the allegations that end up ruining the accused’s live” – just keep on trucking.

I agree it’s sad that Craig won’t be in but please don’t stop watching else those women have won! I’m 100% behind Craig and Craig has given his blessing to this minor hiccup. Channel 7 are trying to keep the show going by retaining the actors if this isn’t made without Craig there’s a chance it won’t ever be made, as actors will go and do other things. I am really really disappointed that Craig won’t be in it but if it saves the show I’m all behind it and it does have Craig’s blessing. This is an appalling thing to happen to anyone and trial by media is not the way forward it makes a mockery of the justice system. I agree that Craig should be innocent until proven guilty but at the moment the media have made this impossible. So please support them it’s the only way we’ll get Craig back #BringBackCraig

Omg Just ridiculous how dare Channel 7 convict Craig like this they really have to answer the question why they have dropped him from the show as he hasn’t been convicted of anything and by the looks of things he won’t. Totally Wrong!!

All of the comments are true, Dr. Blake Murder Mysteries was a success due to Craig McLachlan, he was the show. Granted the other characters played a major role but McLachlan made the show. I hope Seven Network and Screen Australia see these comments and before they invest major monies into production reconsider their decision. No McLachlan NO Dr. Blake pure and simple.

… and now Columbia have announced that Daniel Craig will not be in the next James Bond movie. The plot will centre around Miss Moneypenny instead.

I am sadden to see everyone thinks he’s guilty before his day in court. Whatever happened to innocence till proven guilty. I will not be watching.

I will not watch the show without Craig McLachlan. I’m glad the telemovie ended happily with the wedding and honeymoon. That’s where this series ends for me.

How can you discontinue the role of Dr. Blake since he was not found guilty? The program cannot have the value it had without his role because the interaction brought out the talent of the others. You acted too fast without considering his rights.

Here in the U.S. most of the Aussie shows we see have Marta dusseldorp as lead. Bring her in as the previously undisclosed out of wedlock daughter of dr. Blake’s father, but also a doctor

Dr Blake without DR BLAKE !!!
What a dumb concept.
Won’t bother tuning in to that again.

Very disappointes to hear this , Craig made the show and he is s thorough gentleman, Come on channel seven reconsider.No Blake No Mysteries!!!!!!

I am truly sorry for craig mclachlan being dumped from seven’s dr blake mysteries. The women accusers from the rocky horror show could be just playing parts for whatever reason. I for one, do not believe one word and am disgusted with them. Craig should be cleared of everything and brought back as dr blake. This is the only way I will watch the Blake mysteries.

I will not watch this show if Craig isn’t on the show. He is the heart of the show.

Ch 7 were in a no win situation. If found guilty, they’d be slammed if they had put Craig in. They’d be stuck with unusable product series. Too expensive a risk.

I can’t see Dr Blake Mysteries working without the lead character. I think it is a shame that Craig has been judged guilt by the press without a hearing. I hope this can all be resolved soon and Dr Blake will return to the show.

Craig McLachian has not been convicted of anything.
He is the main even in the Dr,. Blake series. I will not watch it until he is returned.

Without Craig, there is no show – of course. Isn’t the name of the show “Doctor Blake’s Mysteries”? He IS Dr. Blake. This is terrible. I really wonder if this is sabotage. They should continue, and make more episodes, until a trial begins – if there is one. Craig should sue the owners of both companies and shut them down. Why doesn’t he take the concept and start his own TV network? Is that only fantasy? I guess it takes $300 million, which few people have.

My wife and I will not watch Dr. Blake Mysteries until Craig M. is reinstated into the series.

I love this program. We have swung too far in the opposite direction when “believe the woman” without proof is the new standard. The middle ground should be: take accusations seriously, quickly investigate, assumption of innocence, if found “not guilty” publicize equally that decision and return the accused to his place and livelihood.

There are only a few good shows on TV. I wait for Saturday fpr the glorious hous of Father Brown, Dr. Blake Mysteries and Miss Brown.
Here in the US (Loris, SC Dr. Blake is shown on Chanel 8. Personally I dont care what channel he is on as long as he is on a channel I get.
As far as for these “ladies” with innuendoes, well, my mother taught me a woman should be abke to handle herself and maintain being a lady in an given situation. You all know what I mean. Not those exceptions. Flaunt, tease then you get what you ask for. I do not believe a man that looks like our Dr. Blake needs to make improper advances. Growup and learn how to say I’m not interested – better yet just walk away.
The [owers that be can no be so ————— as to take such a great show of the air because of some ————-.

It will be a very, very wrong move indeed to drop Craig McLachian, since Craig himself is the REAL reason for what his part as Doctor Blake is all about, and other than creating what will effectively be an off-shoot TV programme of The Doctor Blake TV Series it will however lose many International viewers like myself from either wanting to watch Series 6, or even again thereafter wanting to buy any Season 6 Boxset of any replacement TV Shows without the main Star of the Show being there, and fully aboard.
I personally won’t be watching any second best so-called further Blake’s Mysteries without Craig McLachian being in what is after all his own TV Series, and I am sure many other Fan’s will feel the same way, and since Craig has been fully cleared now of any wrongdoing then what is wrong with the production company that produces this TV Series and is now so afraid of what, since they are acting like Children.

This is a good show. Characters work good together and everything. But I will not be watching it until Craig M is reinstated. So sad…

This is a good show. Characters work good together and everything. But I will not be watching it until Craig M is reinstated. So sad…

Another great show lost because of accusations. I may just have to quit television and read more books.

Rocky Horror picture shows is for low class both men and women. Consider the source. THAT is what they do in the whole show. Throw that out of equation! !!!!

And if the Dr. BLAKE Mysteries atmosphere was baudy….then there had to be more than one person making the atmosphere for the whole series!!!!! Tell all or shut up media!

I just started watching the show a week ago and kept recognizing one of the characters from another show, so did a search and found all of the allegations and the decision to pull him from the show. It’s shocking! I am a feminist (well, ALL life is important to me!) and I think the #metoo movement has been important to finally change the culture of harassment that women face daily. However, I am appalled by how decisions are being made so quickly without any kind of due process. Accusations and then, gone overnight, especially when many of the accused have gotten away with behavior that everybody knew about and did nothing to change things for years. Charlie Rose? Yuck. He has always given me the creeps and now I know why.

But, in general, there needs to be a process and a time limit. Rocky Horror is a completely different production from Dr. Blake and I can see it bringing out the bawdy and nasty in anyone. If Craig McLachian has been appropriate on Dr. Blake, why penalize him for Rocky Horror?

I would rather see some kind of a warning system and counselling and if the behavior does not change, then bye-bye. But, to just lop people off with no recourse seems completely wrong. People have different boundaries and what might seem fine to one, might feel invasive to another, especially on a stage setting. I find all of this very disturbing and the tables can quickly turn the other way.

I love the series..just wish they’d tone down the music to make it easier to hear the dialogue..won’t work without dr Blake no matter how great the rest of them are.

Ridiculous decision, Craig McLachlan is truly being put on trial by the media and being punished for something that may or may not have happened. He has not been convicted of anything by the courts and has been cleared of misconduct on the set of Dr Blake. I hope the fact they have written his character out by him disappearing means that there could be an opening for him to come back. The 5th series of Dr Blake started showing in the UK today and I will for one will being watching it.

I believe this is the beginning of what is called jumping the shark (at least in America it is).
With all due respect to an excellent cast & writers, I just can’t see the Dr. Blake Mysteries continuing without the main character (Helloooo, it is the “Doctor Blake Mysteries”). I also can’t fathom a replacement for Craig McLachlan working for the series, so I hope that isn’t a viable option. This is such a shame; there are so few quality television shows to watch now days that I hate to lose another one to FOOLISH (not my first choice for an adjective!) POLITICAL CORRECTNESS. I will miss this ongoing saga…….

I cannot understand why Craig Mclachlan was let go? If the investigation found no evidence against him, then why can’t Craig M keep playing his role??? I think it’s TRUE that he was found guilty only by the media!! Who will solve the murders “Mrs Beasley” that’s laughable

How can you possibly have The Dr Blake Mysteries without Dr Blake?
Absolutely ridiculous. I wont be watching as CM is the reason l watch.
You will lose many many fans by dumping Craig especially after it was found there was no cade to answer. Your certainly not doing yourself any fsvours with the viewing public!
BRING BACK DR BLAKE !!!!
BRING BACK CRAIG AS BLAKE !!!!

Will no longer watch if Dr Blake isn’t on.

If the ‘Accused’ can be named then so should the ‘Accuser’ be named, it would put an end to all the ‘sham’ accusers.

It won’t be The Dr Blake Mysteries without Dr Blake. How ridiculous to drop him after he was cleared. Just another witch hunt by social justice warriors. I certainly won’t be watching it now. Pointless!

I don’t want Blake Mysteries without Dr. Blake! What if he is being grossly mis-characterized? I love the show so much and I do love Jean, but bring Dr. Blake back and tell him to behave.

Management decisions by Australian companies always seem to be the wrong. ones .the recent screwup of the DIY chain Homebase in the UK is a typical example…so..No Craig No show for me!

Now I must add my total ‘disgust’ with Channel 7 – how on earth can you put out a show without the main character. Craig IS DR BLAKE! Especially as he has not been found guilty only by the Media!
Get your act together or you will find nobody will be tuning in to see a series without the brilliant Craig Maclachlan. I for one wont be tuning in until they come to their senses and bring him back.

How ridiculous! There is absolutely no way I will waste my time viewing a future Dr Blake Mysteries programme without Craig McLachlan. How stupidly “politically correct” the world has become.

I also will not be watching if Craig is not in it.

I live in the UK and love this series. I won’t be watching it without Craig

There is no show without Craig. I won’t be tuning in to watch mrs beasley. Lol! As if!
Anyway time for the witch hunt to end. Good for Craig for taking legal action to clear his name. And where are the men who have been harassed by their women co stars? Hard to believe not one woman has ever made a bawdy comment to a man. I think it’s ridiculous for people to be in trouble for making adult comments to another adult.

One of the best shows on at the moment. Won’t bother watching it without Dr Blake in it if it comes to NZ. He made the show.

I watch Dr Blake in the UK and I love it!!
This is just not right, if this new show goes ahead without Craig it will be a big flop I hope Seven lose lots of money!

The Dr. Blake Mysteries is one of the best series on TV, which is a rare achievement. It needs Craig’s presence to survive. The powers that be should show some courage, especially in the face of allegations that have no merit. This “Me Too” mantra has become irrelevant and sabotaged legitimate accusations of abuse. The world is filled with enough cowards, don’t be among them.

My wife & I are UK viewers and really like all the Dr Blake regulars, but obviously Craig is the boss man. It’s sad that people have a need to tear down other, more successful, people with innuendo and gossip. It feels like McCarthyism gone mad.

Bring Craig McLachlan back to the show, it will be way to strange strange without him. He was found innocent and your innocent until proven guilty. Keep him on the show until the very end of it, it’s only right. It’s a good show and the cast is great big unnecessary changes like that are seriously not needed. Don’t punish him for being found innocent he’s already had to deal with being blamed for something he hasn’t done.

What many seem to forget that in addition to being blamed in the media without warning or a chance to defend what happened and having his life and career destroyed because of poor research and trial by media, he from statements to the media was also sexually assaulted during the production of Rock Horror. He didn’t place charges, but the charges would be as true as what he is accused of. Where is the media investigation into that? Men are assaulted and in this case it is a strong probability. Yet, there are no consequences for the one who allegedly assaulted him. He was cleared in Dr. Blake. His accuser said he was fine on the Wrong Girl. So where is the fairness?

I’m a UK viewer and have watched every series on the BBC, but no more. As much as I love all the characters, Craig just IS the show. He’s the heart of it, and there is no way it can carry on without him and be anywhere near as good.

While I have no doubt that there are a great many men who are guilty, and have been found out by the #metoo movement, the fact that anyone who is accused nowadays seems to be automatically guilty is shameful. Nobody should be punished publicly until it’s proven they have done something wrong. Destroying careers in the court of the press should never be allowed to happen.

The series will be a failure without Craig. The me too movement is causing much damage without proof. Hope it will return with him.

I just LOVE this show. I feel like I’ve lost a friend. Say it ain’t so…

I just recently found this show. I love the wholesome and caring theme of the show. Like others, I agree that the ensemble cast is wonderful but I truly love Craig as Lucien. He is the reason I watch it. I don’t think I will continue

For heaven’s sake, let’s prosecute or whatever and get on with the show. Is he the only guy in Australia to commit these offences???? It happened ALL THE TIME TO ME AND MY GIRLFRIENDS IN THE 70’S. we all got over it. It will change and it’s just not fair to keep on punishing guys once they are punished!!!!!! For heaven’s sake. I am over it and I want this show back!!!
There must be over 50M guys out there shaking in their boots, thinking that women will put them in to the police etc. Craig didn’t rape anyone did he???? let’s get over it. PUT THE SHOW BACK ON.

I have never been to Australia. I do not know Australian habits and accustoms but your recent TV creations are better than our in the US. Without Craig McLachlan this show will quickly die. He is the brightest star in it. He plays his role with gentleman’s class and elegance. I cannot believe he would be the person you charge him for something I do not believe. Do not follow the spoiled American stupid women.

Please look into this matter more closely-he should not be fired-

No Blake. No Show

My husband & I very much enjoy watch the suberbly acted and written Dr. Blake Mysteries. Since Craig Mclachlan was found innocent of the charges against him he should not have been fired from the Dr. Blake Mystery Series. In the US we watched on Netflix until the later seasons were not carried and had to search Google for various sites on which to continue watching, sometimes hanging a blanket over the partial TV screen that had flashing lights to enable watching that particular episode, when the full screen was not possible. With few things on TV worth watching dr. Blake was a joy. Unless Australian Seven changes its mind about reinstating Craig as Dr. Blake, we will not be watching the continuation of this series. Craig is Dr. Blake.

Men are getting a bad rap it’s all about money if a woman doesn’t want sex she should slap his damn face and walk out if Dr. Blake goes off I’ll will Go off when they change characters somehow it changes the The whole show They have done it with a lot of British comedies and I miss the main actors I know life must go on people change but we miss our first characters that we love and enjoyed so much

Men are getting a bad rap .Its [Edited under Mumbrella’s comment moderation policy] .If a woman doesn’t want sex, she should slap his damn face ,and walk out. Of Blake goes off I’ll will Go off .When they change characters somehow it changes the The whole show .?They have done it with a lot of British comedies and I miss the main actors.I know life must go on,people change ,but we miss our first characters that we love ,and enjoyed so much.?

No reason to watch Dr. Blake without Dr. Blake no matter how much we like the other characters. I do think we’re going a little overboard on applying 2018 mores retroactively and not letting these guys defend themselves.

I sure hate that he will not be on the show, it just want seem right, it want be the same I’ll probably not watch it, I really enjoyed this programs.

Please I just want to see Jean and Lucien happy. Is that too much to hope for. Just for once can we have a happy ending.

Heartbreaking and I will not be wTching without Craig Mclaclhlan. I honestly don’t believe any of it. So sad

I love this show and cannot imagine it without Craig. He is superb in this role. If there isn’t evidence then it is outrageous that he has been let go. From a purely artistic standpoint, the show simply won’t be plausible without him.

Will not be watching without Craig. What would be the point. No proof but penalised. What happen to innocent until found guilty

I am very angry and disappointed that Craig McLachlin will not be returning to the show. He is the main character and the show revolves around him. If he is not in the series you might as well not make any series. He as made this show popular. I am pleading for you to reconsider the poor decision.

This is sad, disgusting and pathetic. McLachlan was accused by co-stars in “Rocky Horror” with allegations dating back 3½ years. My impression is McLachlan countercharged them with a defamation suit.

On “Dr. Blake” there were no complaints, as I’ve understood the events, but producers investigated McLachlan anyway. They found nothing. I love “Dr. Blake” and McLachlan in the role. The trouble has just begun for him, and his producers have dropped him, fin de partis.

I have NEVER had a reason to doubt the women in these cases. The investigations and charges must proceed rightly. But I agree that as soon as a man is accused, his career is ended. That bothers me. These issues are not for the damned court of public opinion.

And McLachlan, if guilty, can go straight to hell.

My husband and I both enjoy this show and were shocked to hear of these allegations. We hope that Craig is fully cleared and rejoins the show.

Are you crazy? There can be no Blake
Mysteries without Dr. BLAKE!

Who would watch????

This is ridiculous! No Craig, no watching!!!!

I will not watch it without McLaughlin!

Why is Craig no longer in the series after being found completely innocent.
I doubt I will watch the show without Craig in it.
It’s a complete injustice, firstly dropped from the show without proof of charges, then secondly not reinstated him after being found innocent.
Disgusting.

I am curious. Was the accuser of Craig ever investigated for sexual assault in this trial by media or for posting on the Internet what seemed obscene? There were actual pictures and not just he said she said. It seems like she received a pass. Is it because she is a woman? It is because the male target is a high profile older man? What about the reporter who seems to be the only one making money off this tragedy?. (If we leave out the lawyers.) All this is very disturbing. There is no reason for Craig to be blacklisted except fear or retaliation. Cases like these harm women.

Now that Mr. McLachlan has been cleared why is he not going to return to the role that he so masterfully played time and again? I don’t believe anyone else could fill his shoes for this role and to try to amble through this would be mediocre at best.

When I was young I fell in love with a older man who made sexual advances. My family moved to a house close to my father’s work. I met this man 25 years later. I married him and we had 39 happy years together. Sadly I lost my best friend in 2015. I will miss craig m. If he is not dr.blake. Do not think I will watch it. As trump says it is a witchhunt now.

Loved the show and mostly Craig in that role. Can never be the same w/o him

Seriously, enough is enough is enough!! He also pats his male counterparts on the back and the arm just as much as he does the females. We have become a society where our ears have become SO sensitive to EVERYTHING said that humor is being lost, common sense has totally gone out the window and shortly in an already barren landscape there WILL BE NOTHING to watch because someone will always be offended. I’ve lived in the age of men and their questionable comments or habits but short of RAPE or TOTAL mistreatment as I said in the beginning ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. If Craig McLachlan is gone then what will the name of the show be now as there is NO Dr.Blake and Jean gets screwed yet again.

I don’t understand, if he was found innocent of charges, why is he being let go?

If someone has been clear of allegations then they are cleared what would cause someone to lose their job if they are cleared of any wrongdoing. It seems ridiculous to me that if you clear someone and you still punish them it’s an injustice to that person.

Actors lives must be quite different from the 9 to 5 crowd and bawdy humor, at times, I suspect is part of the scene…possibly more so than for the rest of us. The latter never being reported in the press, thank goodness. Not all attempts at being humorous go right ‘do they’ but surely these off color efforts can be forgiven. ‘Peace and reconciliation’ measures have overcome much more dire happenings elsewhere, so why not a reconciliation of sorts here.
Maybe the shows producers should get the cast together and simply say that these these allegations and whatever reasons for them, will be let go and not repeated. Start a ‘new slate’.
Beyond all of this Craig is a great actor in this role and is central to it’s continuation, in my opinion. Stop drinking tea on the beach…and get up the hill. The show is an Australian icon.

I am truly saddened by the loss of Craig McLachlan from Dr. Blake… I don’t understand how this is happened either. As much as I love the character of Jean I don’t think I’ll enjoy watching it anymore. And yes, Jean loses out AGAIN!!
I wish Seven had the courage to keep him on the show and see how it goes. Oh well. It was great while it lasted. Thank you Craig, Nadine and all you wonderful cast members!!!

I will certainly not watch Dr. Blake without “the” Dr. Blake. He made the show what it is and without him it is not worth watching. I’m very sad about this.

I am in the USA and love this show. If Craig is not in the show I won’t be watching it. I agree with some of the previous post these men are being treated as guilty even when they have been proven as innocent.

I have seen the rocky Horror show It is a very sexy and if a actress or actor don’t like anyone to pat them on the back or bum well all I can say that ur in the wrong job If ur in a live show some of the older actors show there affections by Kissing some of the Female stars, But that is only out of respect for a good job done.I think today thank things have gone to far,This happen over 3years ago so why have these ladies taken so long to say anything. I can understand if you are a child but you are adults and you can speak up for ur self.You have only made this man guilty before he has been to court, By the way I am a female and I have seen how we can carry on and we are just as bad as men

I disagree with the viewer who said she always noticed the
actor touches women. That’s what I think is so charming
about the doctor. He always holds out his hand to help and
only taps women gently. Who is going to watch the show
without Craig? He is one of the best actors on TV.

no Craig no watch

Love this show.watching the last season of it now.that will be my last without main character. In U.S..

It saddens me that a man went through an intensive investigation and was found innocent or at least the charges were found to be unfounded and he still loses his job. Not sure how anyone could be upset about the events here. If you believe that the case handled appropriately and justly, and Craig was found innocent, there should be absolutely NO reason that he cannot return for another season. Not sure how they can even make this work without the main character. And how can you have created the dynamic between Black and Jean and have an entire fan base invested in that relationship and you tear that apart. It doesn’t make any sense. The executives need to reconsider.

And after all the trouble people went through last year with the petition to keep the show on the air……. Do they really think that people will watch the show without the star? I won’t.

Selucea, here, from Washington state, USA:
What on earth did Ms W-B expect on the sets of the projects indicated in this kerfuffle? Rocky Horror Picture Show is lewd and campy. From context, I gather the comedy she and McLachlan were in had its innuendos. If it made her uncomfortable she should have said so – IMMEDIATELY. Happens again, go to the director with complaint. Not resolved, go to the producer. Not resolved, go to a lawyer. Clearly, they both have risque personalities and were “doin’ what comes natural”. In a permissive environment, going beyond another person’s comfort zone is always a possibility.

Dr. Blake Mysteries are a popular program on our national public channel – we’re always a year behind, of course. Though I thought the show plagued in season 3 with weak and convoluted
plotting, one could never fault the acting or setting. I will watch at least one next year – they’d better have a Really Good Excuse for McLachlan’s absence!

And I hope this is a negative blip that can be easily overcome, as it does seem that it was unjustified. We have a politician in this country, a senator from Wisconsin, whose forced resignation was the result of the opposition party manipulating the facts around a party, years before, in which all present had plenty to drink and a boisterously wonderful time. I think the x-senator needs to run again – because i think he’d be re-elected. And I think McLachlan needs another project that exhibits the “noble” – Blake-ish – aspects of his personality as quickly as possible.

I won’t be watching if Craig McLachlan isn’t in the show. What would be the point.

Dr Blake Mysteries without Dr Blake! Stupidity! Nothing proven against McLachlan but his career is stuffed and ch 7 too gutless cowtowing to the rage of those determined he is guilty just because someone says. What a climate we live in! Everyone assumed guilty and they lose guilty or not! I WON’T BE WATCHING

I recently discovered the series. Checked the internet for 2018 start date. Saddened Craig has been subjected to the aforementioned allegations. His character is the cornerstone of the show. Therefore, it shall collapse without him.

While even the mildest form of sexual harrassment cannot be condoned, I think some consideration should be given to the fact that the accusations came from the Rocky Horror set, which can help explain how show content may have overflowed into personal behavior. If the same accusations were made from the Dr Blake set, then it could come closer to an ” open-and-shut ” case.

There won’t be a show without Craig McLachlan. We’ve enjoyed Dr. Blake on our local PBS station/New Orleans. Bring him BACK!

Until the police investigation is finalized I do hope they keep the Dr. Blake character returnable.

Would you watch Poirot without Poirot? Or Miss Marple without Miss Marple? Then why would anyone watch The Doctor Blake Mysteries without Doctor Blake? It would be nice if the other stars of the show would just stage a joint “walk out” on the show and refuse to return unless Craig returns. But as they are under contract and probably need the income, I doubt that will happen. It’s a shame we live in a time with a witch hunt mentality. In the States, statues that have stood for a hundred years are being taken down because some idiot (or small group of idiots) are offended by them. I’m so glad I never had kids that will have to grow up in this so called world that we live in these days. The “Stupid Virus” is spreading and there is no way to stop it.

Will be scratching this one off the list, now.

This program, without Dr. Blake, just will NOT be worth watching.

I probably won’t be watching without Craig in the series. I love this show! I so looked forward to watching this every Saturday night no matter what time I got home from being out with friends! I’d stay up just to watch the show! I’m so saddened by this! It absolutely breaks my heart for him and for all of us who love and watch the show! I hope that you will reconsider and bring Craig McClachlan back!?

It just figures, I got so disgusted with American TV shows and movies, that when I got internet TV and became a viewer of UK programs, well I thought I died and went to heaven. (I haven’t had cable, dish since 2012). The USA TV programs all found it acceptable to have excessive nudity and bad language as everyday life. No plots, no good anything about them. There is no censorship at all now. I found Longmire, who by the way is an American made series, but apparently it was too tame for the people hear in the USA. They said it didn’t appeal to the younger generation. So they took it off. I found Doctor Blake. Loved, Loved, Loved that show and EVERY character on it. And now I have to lose DOC. Can’t tell you how much excitement it brings when you have to wait for another new series to begin. I feel like a little kid. Answer me one question…. Why do they wait for 20, 30 years before they decide to come out of the closet to say, you know he did this awful thing to me back in 19– and now I think he should be punished for it. What happened to what we were brought up to do and say. “Just say NO” or Report the incident as SOON as it happens. When they say no one wanted to listen, well the NEWS MEDIA LISTENS NOW, THEY WOULD HAVE LISTENED THEN. SPEAK UP or SHUT UP.

I view from America and love this show. I watched and waited for Lucien and Jean to finally get a chance at happiness together, only to find out you take him off? The chemistry they have as a pair is what makes the show ……highly doubt you can just cancel that and make it a hit. 5 seasons that center around a main character is not something you can just succeed in changing and explain away. I’m super disappointed. Its hard to find good tv anymore that does not include gore, bad language, strong sexual scenes and all the things that people who value plot & content over immorality look for. Just disappointing! His character is this show and it’s just not going to work. Not saying he didn’t do anything wrong or right…….but 6 years of good conduct on THIS set should be considered and I personally wouldn’t ruin a great show for accusations that aren’t proven?

I truly hope Seven changes their minds about leaving Craig McLauchlian out of the series. The Whole story revolved around Doctor Blake. When I started watching the series I felt in love with the show and Craig. It reflects on a simpler time but yet it was a good clean show, which is rare today. Personally I want watch the show without Craig and I think I can speak for many. Therefore you may have made a BIG mistake. What once a fantastic show just went downhill. I also looked forward to see the next weeks series. I think Crag has captured the hearts of everyone. It was the out cry of people who saved the show and now you are about to destroy it.

I was always a fan of British Comedy and Drama. Yet, when I started watching Dr. Blake here in South Florida, I was hooked. I have the entire 5 seasons. I bought a Pal dvd player. Now, I’ll get the last movie with him and Jean. It is so sad we will not see Craig McLauglin. I hope they bring him back after they see how the show disappoints. Although Nadine Garner is outstanding but it will never be the same!

Women and men have been mistreated by powerful people and I believe the situation exists and has for a long time. I also believe that the #metoo movement was not started to blackball men and cause them to lose their jobs, their livelihood, without the right to due process. But, a mob mentality has taken over, the press is too quick to condemn, and I think some women have jumped on the bandwagon to get attention or to attack someone they have a grudge against. It is abhorrent behavior, whether it is by a predator or a person just jumping on the bandwagon. It will probably end this man’s career, even though the investigation found no wrong doing. The damage was already done. I admire Nadine Garner for speaking the truth and defending her co-star. Not many would have done that.

What a shame that a successful career can be destroyed so easily. This is a wonderful show that people truly enjoy, of course someone will find a way to destroy it. It seems to be the way of the world these days.

Looks like the case against McLachlan from Rocky Horror is also falling apart. His primary accuser is still trying to use trial by media and repeating her not proven accusations in the press in great detail. Her attorney should be furious. I can understand why a person who had [Edited under Mumbrella’s comment moderation policy] . The “reporter” has been[Edited under Mumbrella’s comment moderation policy] . This is sad for everyone. If the media had done a careful investigation and printed only verified facts, the pain everyone is going through would not have happened. Lives have been destroyed. For what? A little fame? False memories? Retaliation? So those who enjoyed watching the Dr. Blake Mysteries are also punished.

He was the reason I watched the show. I won’t watch it now.
Really, when will these powers-that-be stop listening to lies and sex traps from deceiving women out for money or revenge. Honestly, I know what I am talking about. I was a young good looking woman and all I had to do to stop unwanted attention was to tell them to stop. What I could not stop was harassment from other women,
I know the mind of young women very well- sneaky, deceptive[ give me what I want; look at me because I am sexy and on and on and on. Men better watch out for these liberal p”ss” wearing hat women.

Very disappointed that Craig is not going to play Dr Blake. I believe he was found innocent of charges, yet is not joining the show.
Is it possible to get an honest reason for droppingCraig.

It is a good show and he has a good lead. If he was found not guilty, then keep him in it

Started watching this show recently. Was going to purchase season 4 online, when I saw that Dr Blake will no longer be on the show.

Guess I won’t be purchasing Season 4 or watching this show any longer.

Innocent until proven guilty!!

I hate to see Craig go, but it’s happening anyway. Replace the actor not the entire story. It happens all the time. They killed off designated survivor wife instead of putting a new actor in her place,it ruined the show and now it’s canceled. At least try.

Of late, an accusation equals guilt. What happened to one’s right to defend his or herself; of innocence until found otherwise? Want to end someone’s career? Accuse!

While i agree that things have to change I will not be watching without Dr Blake. I understand he was cleared of harassment charges on the program set ,Then why his dismissal ?best show on the net for me.

My husband and I are huge fans of this show. We’re in Philadelphia and cannot imagine the show without Dr. BLAKE! If he was cleared of any wrongdoing, why axe him? The show will not be the same and I doubt we will watch it. C’mon, Australia, do the right thing and bring Lucien back!

BRING BACK CRAIG, BRING BACK CRAIG, BRING BACK CRAIG.
AND BRING HIM BACK AS SOON AS YOU START PRODUCTION AGAIN!!!!!!!!!
Harlene

The people ridiculously firing Craig are probably doing so as a cover for their own misbehavior.

If Craig was cleared, why removed him from show? He is clearly the star. Coworkers and staff believe in him and respect his work. We would all love to have a fun and exciting work place. Some people need to grow up and stop being so thin skinned.
And looking for a free payday!!!!!
Wishing you all the very best!

So the first offended snowflakes accused him of being lewd and offensive, why were they on The Rocky Horror Picture Show which is full of sexual innuendos. Did they think they were on a Shakespearean drama; something smells here. As to the criticism of his demeanor on Dr. Blake, most stars are demanding of his/her operation sine they are the one most closely linked to it. There are many stories of Katie Couric dictatorial and demeaning manner but for some reason she is never hoisted

Please keep Craig McLachlan as Dr. Lucien Blake on the Dr. Blake Mysteries series. Don’t spoil a good show by taking out the best lead character.

A witchhunt in the extreme. Bring back Craig.

well i guess this is another show i will have to do without. Dr Blake is the best character and no one but Craig McLachlan can play it. without him the show will never t be worth watching. bad call!

As usual, another actor loses credibility because of an unproven claim. Unfortunately, we again have lost an excellent Australian actor because the company have not got the gumption to stand by their actor. Shame.

I hate this mess. Now we have to be without one of the BEST SHOWS on tv. I always look forward to watching Dr. Blake. No more looking forward to Friday night television. All because a women [Edited under Mumbrella’s comment moderation policy].

So sorry this series is no longer going to have Craig,as the main character! How do they think it will be a success without him,bring him back,not found guilty of anything,I love this series,we people in US love it!!

OMG! You’ve got to be kidding. I love Craig McLachlan as Doctor Blake. And I’ve watched every season and episode of this show for the day Doctor Blake will finally marry and be happy. You have to reconsider dropping McLachlan from the show before we get to see and enjoy this couple’s love and happiness . It won’t work. I for one couldn’t bear to watch it.

So, all these yet unproven charges of Kyle Mclaughlin for his behavior during his part years ago in a stage production of the “Rocky Horror Picture Show” is still up in the air. So the charges unproven have cost him his job as Dr. Blake? Has anyone seen “Rocky Horror Show?” The whole show is indecent the title character has sex with just about every other character in the show! The whole show of “Rocky” touches on some cross dressing sexually confused human beings running around and singing songs about subjects heavily filled with sexual content which included most characters on the set! It was deemed innocuous that Benny Hill type jokes between cast members being told each other during the filming of Dr. Blake. Kyle was cleared of any wrong doing then, well for goodness sakes joking around was not allowed during the sexual content filled play of “Rocky Horror Show?’ You’ve got to be kidding??

Benny Hill-esque jokes deemed okay for Dr. Blake series done during the straight laced 1950’s. But ‘The Rocky Horror Show” not so much? Have you read through or witnessed for yourselves the entire show of Rocky Horror, the subject it covers? If Benny Hill type jokes were okay for the adult actors to let off steam and stress while shooting Dr. Blake well why then is it not for the sexually charged “Rocky Horror Show?’ Please hear the man out!

I have purchased and watched this entire series but am not interested if Craig McLachlan is not in it. I think you are making a terrible mistake by letting him go.

I will not be watching the program without
Dr Blake. So few programs that are even
Worth watching.
Get over it and go with him or NO ONE
will be watching!!

If Craig McLachlan has been clear of any wrong doing, why is he being taken off of the series? I will not be watching without the main character. As much as I love the supporting characters, how can it be Dr. Blake Mysteries with his fiancé Jean as the main character?
Please, reconsider and bring back Craig McLachlan as Dr. Blake! Such a good series!

Why is it OK for the media to print unproven allegations and destroy lives. To make it worse, the so-called “leaders” are getting awards and accolades for these mostly retaliatory allegations. Half truths and lies have overtaken the horrible real experiences. As someone who has seen over decades women, men and children who have endured sexual abuse, mistreatment, and in some cases committed suicide as a result, these so-called leaders have no idea how much harm they have caused. Proven events are what is necessary. The exploitation must be stopped. The discussion is important. Not the destroying of innocent human beings for a McCarthy like movement. Look at what the media has done to Geoffry Rush in addition to Craig McLachlan and many others who have been exonerated. Naming names is not the idea. Stopping behavior is. Those in the media profiting off this should either donate ALL the speaking fees to the cause or just be quiet. Profiting off the pain of others is simply evil.

Death by allegation seems to be an actors new death knell, it seems proof is no longer needed just an allegation to bring a long career to an end. It is disgusting how tv companies treat actors who have had any allegations made against them even if they have been cleared just to save themselves any embarrassment and loss of advertisers.
Advertisers rule our lives.

I’m afraid people’s sense of humor has died under the # me too movement. Has he personally harmed or hurt anyone? Great talent is being flushed down the toilet thanks to people with no sense of humor. Get a life.

What a waste of a very good Actor that really has people asking and waiting for more episode’s. We have watched Every series and have bought all the DVDs. Please make more with all the right Stars
Pauline

My husband and I just finished watching the last episode of Season 3. The show has a finality to it. I googled the show to see if it had been renewed and read the garbage about Craig McLachlan. Give me a break!! This Me Too movement has begun to make me sick. It looks like women [Edited under Mumbrella’s comment moderation policy]. While I am sure there are plenty of men guilty, a lot are not.
This show is good because of Doctor Blake. He goes…….the show goes.

I have become a great fan of the doctor Blake Mysteries. I am so unhappy that doctor Blake will not be returning. I’m really not sure how you can overcome his loss. Nadine Garner is a fine actress, and it would appear to me that she needs a fine costar for the show to continue to be popular. I am almost devastated.

Well how can the sho be called Blake mysteries without Dr Blake? That’s ridiculous guess I will not watch that show too bad I really enjoyed the show.

whatever happened to innocent until proven guiltyy. Shame on all the executives. No Craig ni show!

So what will Craig be doing instead? We could support him there.

Political Correctness” strikes again.
Seems to me that there are those SO worried about political correctness and force their will on others that we have become “politically INcorrect!”
And BTW: Wasn’t the show’s message always about how
people should NOT be accused or charged without bases in FACT??
How ironic. Dr Blake was ALWAYS fighting that battle in every show!!
Wake up Seven et al…

There’s 221 comments concerning the Doctor Blake Series, which should show Channel Seven that their plans to run the show without Craig Mc Laughlin is a BIG mistake. Craig made the show not Jean Beasley. When I started watching the show I could hardly wait until the next weeks episode. I immediately fell in love with the show and Craig. You can’ have a show where two people finally get married then you jump 3 years and start without the Main Star. It seems to me if Craig was found NOT GUILTY, he should remain in the show. No one will be able to take his place. Everyone has said that he made the show. What part of this does Channel Seven understand????? I am begging Channel Seven to reconsider their decision. The fact that Craig isn’t being given the chance to continue as the main character makes me very mad.????

PS: Craig in case you are reading these comments, I want you to know you will be missed sooooo much and if there’s anyway to change their minds please do so. Your fans need you.

There was no evidence found. He should be allowed to come back to the show.

I in no way condone sexual harassment on either side because let’s face it women can be just as guilty as men of this type of behavior. But Craig was cleared of these charges. Craig is a phenomenal talent and deserves much better than this. Nadine is a wonderful actress but I’m not sure if she can carry the show. I’ll give it a shot but I don’t think it will be the same show I have grown to love. We waited for our beloved main characters to finally get together and this is what happens? Please bring Craig back!!

The loss of Craig McLaughlin on The Doctor Blake Mysteries is a loss for us all… In this rancid culture, anybody can say anything accusatory… Everyone is at risk. Without waiting for due process, I feel that it was a bad choice by December Productions to go forward with the series without their star. While all cast members are outstanding with their craft, Craig McLaughlin made the show. Now, even the first five seasons will be tainted by this scandal.
I feel the decision was a knee-jerk one, and not backed up by discovery and judicial ruling. Motivations for such allegations are ambiguous. Sometimes they are justified, but most often people become money hungry… Who said that actors had to live pristine lives? If it is not a question of crime, such as rape or physical assault, then I feel that McLaughlin should’ve been allowed to continue in his role as Dr Blake. Harassment is such a grey area. After teaching English for 28 years and being part of a mixed-gender work environment,
I can attest that language (verbal and non-verbal) and it’s interpretation is subjective.

Won’t be watching Dr Blake unless Craig returns,

Based on this, I won’t watch it. The show won’t be anything without Craig. We have become far too oversensitive on this issue. And given the police couldn’t put a case together, there clearly wasn’t a case to answer. Absolutely disgusting.

Thank you thank you to everyone on this site
I thought I was the only one
My gay brother killed himself five years ago after being accused of kissing a female co worker
he got promoted and she didn’t so on the same day he got the new job she ran to HR and said six years prior my brother kissed her without consent at a christmas party
She screamed blue murder
He lost his promotion then his job then his mortgage then HIS BOYFRIEND then his life
It was later she admitted he had kissed her like a friend kisses you on your birthday and she didn’t know he was gay
Evil evil women

No Craig no show
hope it utterly fails and every woman [Edited under Mumbrella’s comment moderation policy]

If proven innocent. Then it he is .live in Canada and absolutely love this show. No Craig then I will start a petition over here to boycott the series without him. Ridiculous politics..

I don’t think the show will survive without Craig..bad decision on someone’s part.

I’d like to see Craig return to the show as an act of strength to stand up against this politically correct nonsense that now dominates out media, particularly the male-haters at the ABC and SBS.

Face it. Dr. Blake is not coming back. Whatever happened and nothing has been proven has ruined a great career and great program. So we get punished for accusation that seems to have no merit. I hope that Craig gets his life back. His life will never be the same. All this accomplished is pain for everyone. Trial by Media is never right. It should never have gone there before a report to the police. Or the media should have done a real investigation. Obviously that did not happen. So Dr. Blake is over. We can want it to come back, but all involved have moved on.

Great show…great actors, much to do about nothing!
He was cleared..you ruin a mans life and career over hearsay, and now…I and others will not return to watch a show that was made around a character and pretend he’s not important…take the name Blake too..call it Jean…see how long that lasts!

Maybe Dr. Blake can be temporarily written out of the script because he has been (falsely) charged of assault by a disturbed female patient and imprisoned as a consequence. Dr. Blake is later released from prison as it is proven that Dr. Blake is a victim of a conspiracy. He then returns to Ballarat as the charges laid were overturned because they were proven to be both false and fabricated.

If such an episode was written and rated well, that would bring Craig’s career back on track and send a big ‘f#%k you” to the ‘Me Too’ers.’

I a man so sorry to see your lead actor Craig who plays Dr Blake terminated from the series. He IS the series and as much as the other actors are enjoyed, it is his character who holds the program together. Without him, it will not last.
Poor decision.
While I certainly believe all complaints regarding harassment are serious and need to be heard, once that is done and a party found innocent, they should be allowed to carry on.
I won’t be watching.

I hate to see this show ruined. After he was cleared and yet he will not be coming back to the show that is based on him. Sadly either will I. I can’t believe the show will have the same intrigue without him.

I love the Dr Blake series, but will NOT watch it if they take Dr Blake out….. He IS the show! They will lose me and all my friends if they carry this out!

I love this series, and the characters.
I can’t imagine this show without Craig.

Please bring him back . I am hoping they find him Innocent of all charges .I love the show

I certainly hope Craig’s character is reconsidered. This has been such a facinating program that has pulled us in faithfully each week. The program needs Craig, just like it needs Nadine.

Loved Dr Blake Mysteries a great Aussie drama. Craig makes the show and I won’t be watching the next series without him.

As I understand the situation he was cleared of the charges and then, because he was aggressive in defending himself, he was dropped from the show. It seems that doing an investigation of the charges is unnessesary. Once the accusations are made just go to the punishment and skip all of the rest of it because even if an investigation finds no basis for the claims, a person is still punished. Sheer madness! I personally will NOT be watching The (No) Blake Mysteries when they return!

Doesn’t Australia believe in innocent until proven guilty? Or, are they like the Democrats here in the US – lets believe the accusations of some women and ruin some men’s careers and lives without actual “proof.” Is there proof to any of the accusations? If not, reinstate him and apologize. The show will fail w/o him and I for one won’t watch it.

I just discovered this series recently and am thoroughly enjoying it. Especially Dr. Blake (Craig McLachlan). He is excellent. I am stunned to read the accusations. I went on line to find out what happened to the police superintendent. Can’t find anything about that but came across this awful story. I am am hoping that somehow this gets sorted out and Craig can return. Hope it’s not like the 1920 Chicago White Socks scandal when the saying was “Say it ain’t so Joe”. “say it ain’t so Lucien”.

Without Craig there is no Blake Mysteries. What happen to being innocent until proven guilty! A statement is nothing without supporting evidence. I will not be watching the new Blake Mysteries.

I can’t see hiw the show without Dr Blake is going to succeed. It was one of my favorite show which I had my DVR recording it non-stop. Now out of protest I just decided to erase all my recordings and stop recording it period. Yes I know there is a lit of abuse against women out there but niw there is a lot against men. It all boils down to money and power by these corporations and politicans. None of them have the balls to face these accusers and call an ace an ace. I worked for many years in an atmosphere where the accusers were always seemed right and thise accused having to defend themselves. Many times suspended as to what they called “further investigation.” These destructive groups are powerful because those in high position let them be. Today they want to make decisions as to who goes and who stays. Politicians and these corporations sell their souls to the devil for positions and money. They don’t care that they destroy someone’s life and career. I am GLAD that Justice Kavanaugh was nit intimidated and fought back.

sorry you are even thinking of having Dr. Blake without Craig – I wouldn’t be interested in watching the show without him BAD MISTAKE

I just purchased and watched seasons 4 and 5. I will watch season 6 but will not watch the show without the main character. I have gone back and purchased more Doc Martin series. I continue to watch father Brown. The show will not be the same.

We just finished watching this series and want to watch more!!! We love Dr Blake! He is central to the show -forgive him if he did anything wrong (although I don’t see proof just accusations) and move forward with the show and McLachlan!

I watch the show from the USA
The mysteries are intriguing but they need Lucien to solve them otherwise they would become dull and boring!
Love, love, love Jean but she also needs Lucien in the show!
Craig and Nadine..thanks for the roles you played with such reality..
so entertaining!
I will miss you!
Will no longer watch the show without Craig!!!

wow. so. just as in America, an accusation is considered as proof of misconduct. just exactly how can the Doctor Blake Mysteries continue with no Doctor Blake? i will not be watching season 6, and i imagine others will do the same. sad.

It appears the power women have to accuse men of sexual harrassment has become an epedemic in Australia as well as here in the USA. While some may be true, the rash of them is suspect, going back 20 to 30 years in some cases. Is this the accusation Du Jour? It hurts the cause when constantly fabricated for revenge, money or attention. ABC in Australia, the Blake Mysteries without Craig McLauchlan is not a competitive program and it is predicted to fail. Nadine Garnrr, ee are sorry for the loss of Jean and Lucien. America will miss you. You are both wished success. Craig, you are sincerely missed.

Yet another victim of the despicable #MeToo movement. How many more lives, reputations, and careers are going to be destroyed before people finally start understanding a great majority of these women are liars and only want money and 15 minutes of fame. And I can say this because I REALLY am a survivor of sexual assault – twice!

So sad. I can’t imagine Dr. Blake without Dr. Blake.

Innocent until proven guilty certainly was not at work here. A very bad decision and it won’t be on our shedule here at this disapointed watcher’s home.anymore. Sad to say.

Jean’s character is strong and the nurse is delightful. Too bad they will vanish. The comeupence of the new commander was a way to let us watchers down a bit gently I guess.

Innocent until proven guilty. I like Dr. BLake, I watch on pbs in NY. Seriously Dr. BLake without Dr Blake? Here in America in the late 1600’s how many people were put to death as witches in Salem Massachusetts? They were accused, dragged through the streets and put to death on false accusations. They were innocent. Stop the witch hunt. Bring back Craig.

Totally agree with the majority of the decisions the total maniacal saying about sexual harassment and guilty-until-proven-innocent his just gone overboard I too will not watch this series Without doctor Blake in it more Stupid Decisions by the entertainment world and jump to conclusions before any proof is available totally despicable and deplorable

Dr Blake Mysteries is Craig McLachlan – What happened to innocent till proven guilty- As a UK Fan I shall not be watching any further episodes till he comes back

I can’t believe that the Dr. Blake Mysteries series will continue without the star. How can the namesake not be present? Craig McLachlan has been a joy to watch and I certainly will not be watching the programme without him!

Sorry, folks but women falsely accusing men of sexual mis-conduct is next to nothing, while men seem to harass women on a daily basis. Why is this so hard to believe that the male lead acted inappropriately? I’m sure it is being investigated. If the allegations are true, he’s got to go.

Sure hope they reconsider and reinstate him☹

Send the man to behavior modification school and make it clear he has to change.

It’s a shame that people are having their lives ruined by females [Edited under Mumbrella’s comment moderation policy] . Why has he been dropped? No member of my extended family will be watching the new series or channel 7. You are innocent in Australia until proven guilty. In this case the accusation was ridiculous and making it more difficult for people who are true victims.

I AM A HUGE FAN OF THE DR.BLAKE MYSTERIES, IN GENERAL AND THE LEAD CHARACTER IN PARTICULAR. WHAT A SHAME THAT EVEN THOUGH HE HAS CLEARED HIS NAME, HE WILL NOT CONTINUE IN THIS SHOW. PLEASE RETHINK THIS.

Now that Craig McLachlan has been cleared, I hope he returns to the tv show. It will not be the same without him.

How can this series possibly work now the main character the series is actually named after, succeed? How can there be any believability when Dr Blake is all about his being a police doctor and pathologist, who also is a competent at forensics, is no longer portrayed? How can Jean be the main character? Much as I like the character of Jean, it’s just too much of a stretch of the imagination. Surely the local police will have to have a replacement doctor?

We watch The Doctor Blake
Mystery’s all the time and we must say we are very Disappointed that Graig is not returning to the show.
It will not be the same without him
Playing the Lead Role!
We will refuse to watch anyone else
Take His place! So Bring Him Back!

Why is it that TV station always jump to conclusions and fire their actors or stop production before anything is proven… Most of the time it is not true as is here…. I really liked the Dr Blake show and do not know if I will watch know that Craig is gone ….

Ok no Graig …. I will no longer watch… don’t assume someone is guily before all facts are in…. that is what is wrong with TV and this country now…

I am watching repeats at the moment but can’t wait to watch the new series it won’t be the same if he is not in it he has made the show wonderful with the rest of the cast he should remain in the cast

Nadine Garner is wonderful as Jean Beazley but I am not excited about her as the new central focus of the Doctor Blake Mystery series. I don’t even know how that’s going to be executed, sure she have Dr. Blake new perspectives or clues but that doesn’t automatically make her Nancy Drew. Is Superintendent Matthew Lawson and SS Charlie Davis going to train her?

Craig McLachlan was the reason for watching this show for me, watching him craft how the character’s mind work as he discovers clues and how he balances his work and his imperfections. I was so sad when I finished the last.

Nadine Gardner is a brilliant actress who has won awards for her many stage film and television triumphs. Her role as Mrs Beazley did not stretch her talents so I’m absolutely sure, given the right material, she could be so much better than cmg.
I saw the Rocky Horror show in which mr m was the star. I immediately sensed discomfort from actors required to be in close quarters with him. He, himself, wrote in A legend of Australian entertainment’s biography that he had played a ‘joke’ on the gay performer, whilst the performer was performing solo onstage. According to mclauchlan’s own words, he lay on the stage floor out of site and slowly moved his legs with high heels on up the performers legs. Upon reaching the mans arse he pushed the heels into this embarrassed mans backside. At that point the audience could see what was going on and thought it was part of the act. The man turned to Craig and told him he was aweful for doing it. This sums him up perfectly and by his own hand.

Dr. Blake is the reason I have binge watched this show. Like so many others, I really like Jean but she is not what people tune in to watch.

No Craig McLachlan no Dr. Blake Mysteries. I
I sure won’t watch! This whole thing is getting ridiculous.

My partner and I are also UK watchers, it is a very popular series here and I agree with the majority of comments. If he had been found to be guilty of the accusations made against him then I would have agreed that he should not appear in the show any more, despite the fact his quizzical character makes the show. As he has been found innocent of the accusations surely it would be the decent thing to reinstate him making clear that all accusations made against him are unfounded.
His character has been built up over much of the series as is he relationship with Mrs Beasley and the other characters, to replace or introduce another Dr. would not be the same. I think we will have to find another program to watch or perhaps read a book. One thing that we find is there is no overt salacious behaviour, it did take him al long time before he even gave Mrs Beasley a somewhat chaste kiss. Please the TV company that has taken over the making Dr Blakes Mysteries think again – why should you get rid of an innocent man.

Dr. Blake is so loving and gentle on this show. Who cares what he’s like in real life!! Haha.

We have seen it before a great series with Dr Blake ,but to leave him out will not gel because all the time you exspect him to come round the corner and solve the case ,It’s like Dr Who without Dr Who.-you take the main character out and you have lost the series -we certainly will not watch it.

It is nice to know that America is not the only country going crazy. We hounded Sen. Al Franken out of office…for nothing. People’s lives ruined by allegations in the media that would never stand up in court.

I am very disappointed that doctor Blake will not include Craig.his acting will be a great loss simple answer bring him back!

Please bring back one of the best shows on PBS!!!!!!!

I started watching this show just this year and I love it. Removing Craig from playing Dr Blake is a stupid move. He is why I wanted to buy all the seasons that were out there. He makes that show great and the other actors look good cause of him. I am from Texas and I hope these people who are trying to keep the star of this show out, will change their mind. I will stop watching it if Craig is not on the show.

I watched one of the movie versions and although Nadine good she is part of the duo we here in uk loved please don’t spoil a very good programme if nothing was found to be wrong . I’m fed up of programmes getting spoilt by people change especially the main character . PLEASE BRUNG HIM BACK

Just watched 1st episode of “Blake” without Dr Blake won’t be watching anymore it’s just not the same. He is very much missed

Just found out why Craig mclachlan is not in the new series of the Blake mystery show terrible the show us lucien and Jean without him it doesn’t gel how can they sack a man exonerated and punish his life and career because some silly little girl or woman made a claim you have ruined a show and a life

I have just watched a new episode and its really not the same its ok i feel that jean is a strong character. Now they have kind of left it open as they dont know for sure that hes dead so do you think they have left it open for him to return?

I am a UK viewer, & I have just watched the 2nd episode of the Blake Mysteries.. Whilst there is nothing wrong with Nadine Garner, she is a good actress & played the part as well as she ever has, I have to say that the programme does not hold the same kind of appeal without Craig Mclachlan in the lead role of DR.BLAKE. I fear that without him, this programme will not survive this series, never mind another. This has been done too many times now. A really good programme is aired, one that is worth following, & then it’s completely changed, or even cancelled. PLEASE BRING BACK CRAIG MCLACHLAN. You could always add another episode in which he is found alive, or just reappears.

Well I hope Craig is reading all the lovely comments as it should let him know how much he is loved & missed as Lucien Blake. Thesewomen that make these accusations cause so much upset. Get over yourselves & grow up.

I have just the watched 1st Episode of the Blake Mysterious and I am sorry to say I do not think I will be watching anymore. I love the Dr Blake mysterious and Craig made the series. The new one does not have same feel and excitement with out Dr Blake. I hope they think again and bring him back but I understand that viewers do not really have much say in how the tv companies work. A sorry Fan from England.

I cannot believe as he was found innocent why he should be penalised. The program without him is no program. A defestated uk viewer

Bring him back! He IS the show!
So many with the same feelings, come on now it won’t work without him.
Deebee

What a shame. He IS the show. No sense watching without him. Oh well…bloody hell.

What a shame. He IS the show. No sense watching without him. Oh well.. I’ll find something else to watch. Next someone will falsely accuse Doc Martin. Or maybe some jealous liar will destroy Agatha Christie. It seems that all a petty liar needs to do is point a finger and a person’s career is ruined.

A UK viewer. Loved this show so much and the other great Aussie one set in the fifties “A Place to call home” and in fact thought they should have both been shown on prime time, and not weekly afternoons when lot of people are at work! Anyway watched Nadine in the 2 part series today, and although she is great, again we can’t have the show without Craig.

the police surgeon Blake is the main character along with a couple of the police men his wife to be and the reporter lady take him away though and although on a smaller scale it will be similar to 2 and a half men losing Charlie sheen some actors in a role are simply irreplaceable.

2and a half men was good a decent cast and charlie sheen at the heart of it all as good as the others was in that show it was Charlie that was the man without Charlie it went downhill and so to will this show im afraid no disrespect to the other cast members like head policeman and Charlie and the other tough police dude plue blakes wife and the reporter but no proper dr Blake uve then got half a show im afraid ?

this show is over , he made the show, there lost not his

I just started watching this show on Netflix I fell in love with it. I have watched every show. I am very sorry about Craig being taken off.You are all right in that it will not be the same. But in the same right if there is truth in allegations then that has to be worked out. Again I will terribly miss him.

What’s the point of continuing without mclachlan. It’s ruined now.

I love Jean but the show is not the same without Craig playing
Doctor Blake!
Please bring him back !

Our hearts are broke, we have been waiting for Dr. Blake to come back , and now because of some [Edited under Mumbrella’s comment moderation policy] , you have done this, shame, shame, shame on you.

As a feminist out of the 1960’s, I was incensed by the allegations of sexual misconduct. I did my homework. I have not found that the allegations against McLachlan to be proven. It makes no sense to remove this actor, whose keen work has driven this program to a series worth watching. I won’t be watching without him in the male lead.

I love the Doctor Blake series and watch it on 2 different PBS stations here in Tulsa. Very sorry it is going forward without the main actor, as that seems weird. And unfair to him, since it sounds like he was wrongly accused. There’s a huge difference between harassment that needs to be reported, and someone horsing around or being playful.

I Don’t think the Blake Mystery series will be the same without Craig.

Oh how sad, guess I won’t be watching anymore as he made the show. Since allegations weren’t proven, in chance bringing him back and saving the show?

I only watched half of one episode of the “Dr Blake” without Craig McLachlan – it was terrible. The heart of the series had been torn out and it was pointless – the cast seemed half hearted, the plot was vague, there was nothing to hold the attention – it was ghastly in the extreme. This series is dead without Craig M. I deleted the second ep I had recorded without even bothering to watch it.

Iam not watching anymore, to accuse someone with no proof and let them go thanks but no thanks.

Just found out that the lead character Dr Blake has been axed and why. What a shame I so enjoyed the series. I’m unlikely to carry on watching when it comes back to the BBC. If the guy is innocent he should be reinstated.

If the man is innocent why is he being treated as if he’s guilty? This amounts to nothing more than a cowardly witch hunt! Shame on you ABC in Australia (Seven Network) and PBS here in the US (PBS should support Mr.McLachlan’s return); you both don’t have the courage to do the right thing and bring back Mr. McLachlan!!

If Mc Lachlin was found innocent, why remove him from HIS show. Please bring him back. I really enjoyed the show.

I will not watch it without him he is Dr Blake.

Bring Creig back! He a great actor!
And misconduct by him as spoken
can potentially be Fake new like we
have here in the good old USA!
And anyone can bring charges against
anyone these and tarnish the person
name for good ! Creig needs too be
brought back!

I love dr Blake mystery I really want Lucian back what a great actor,
please bring the show back with Lucian he one of my favorite actors next to jean and Charlie what a wonderful stories you bring it’s phenomenal I’m live in USA pa and love this show .

Who do we need to communicate with to get Craig M. back on Dr. Blake?? He’s great on the show and most definitely should be returned… like so many have said before, there IS no Dr. Blake Mysteries without Craig McLachlan.
We will all be out here looking forward to Craig’s return as Dr. Lucien Blake.
Do the right thing and bring him back!!
The writers can figure out how.

You are making a big mistake in going forward with Blake mysteties eithout Blake. As fond as I am of Jean, she and the others cannot go forward. Get Craig McLachlan back. He was exonerated, please do not be unfair.

I want to see more of the Doctor Blake story. I would like to see Craig stay there, but if he’s sexually harassing women, replace him with another guy. We can get used to him.

We live in the US and this is one of only a handful of shows that my husband and I watch together. Craig is magnificent as the lead, the other actors are quite good but the series is not viable without Dr. Blake. The writing is superb and quite certain they will find a way to bring him back to the series. There is so little on television that has the magic combination of great characters, great acting and great writing. The mysteries are intelligent! Who do we contact to pursuade them to bring back a full series. Bringing Craig back is a sound decision on many fronts, including a sound business decision. Don’t let so many fans down.

Outrageous to drop Craig on strength of allegations! Best ensemble cast on air today anywhere in the world. Kill the goose who lays the golden egg and expect to go on for seasons/mini movies to line pockets with more eggs (money)—metaphor for the stupidity of such a move ON ALLEGATIONS!!!! If the set were raucous all along, the producers are responsible for any misconceptions that were fostered in the atmosphere. Craig is counter-suing. Doesn’t that tell you something. From a female who supports women’s voices, but also respects and relies on innocent until proven guilty beyond a doubt. I won’t watch anything again. On allegations you have killed the best ensembable on air today—a rare experience.

On allegations you have killed the best ensemble on air today—a rare experience.

This is becoming crazy. The charges are coming left and right. Very often, there are only the accounts of the participants.
While I am a man, I am very aware of how horrendous, how frightening, some people’s behavior can be, at least as an observer. My ex-wife was raped by her boss, and he spread rumors that she was a willing partner, virtually ruining her career at the bank were she had been a valued employee. In addition, one of my sisters was raped. I know how devastated they were, how long it took for them to even begin to process these hideous events.
A close friend and her boyfriend were accused by his daughter, from a previous marriage, of some really disgusting acts. The police opened a file. It was ages before it was finally acknowledged that as they were both disabled, they could NOT have acted as she charged.
So,, back to Dr. Blake. We, the public, have been become unwilling participants in this tragedy. If there were significant, and I mean beyond a ribald joke, acts, then he should be fired. If, however, he was fired on false charges, then we all deserve an apology, the Doctor for the threat to his public and private life, and us for the creation of a false narrative that waters down the future charges of real victims. Did this act rally happen? if the Doctor was cleared of these charges, why diddle with the show?
How can this series continue? It is a remarkable cast, each actor selected for their part is remarkably talented. However, it is very much an ensemble cast. They work together, balance each other, play off each other’s character.
By pulling any one character out, the whole production collapses. It becomes badly unbalanced.
What will they call it?
‘The Doctor is Out of Town Mysteries?’
Perhaps ‘The Doctor Died Unexpectedly Mysteries?
How about simply calling it:
‘The Doctor Is Out Mysteries?’

Not moving forward with Craig in the title role is a major mistake!! If they think that just anyone can step into this role they are mad!! Craig WAS Dr. Blake. I am so saddened that false allegations have ruined a fantastic actor. Now I’m all for women speaking up against sexual harassment. In fact I applaud it, but this empowerment doesn’t give us the right to use our new found power to destroy men because that makes us no better than the men who sexually assaulted women!

This actor was proven innocent after an investigation into the allegations so why is he still booted from the show?

I loved the show and McLachlan in that role of the doctor, he was made for that role. This must be some kind of joke. You must put McLachlan back on. I look for him everyday, I keep searching. Why do you take a person out of his role that he does so well when you don’t have solid proof of his actions. That’s crazy

What is Seven thinking by not bringing back THE doctor? He was accused and then he was found not culpable. Anyone can accuse.
Bring THE doctor back to his fans.

Without Craig, there’s no point to continuing this fantastic series! And I also agree that the MeToo Movement has taken a very sinister turn and women now are becoming the guilty parties!

Without Blake, without us…

You had a very popular and successful series and because a few people make an accusation you take the mainstay, Dr Blake, off the show???? I’m not saying that these weren’t true accusations but what about all of the production staff and actors and extras etc that are hurting? Not to mention the fans?!!!! The show will never ever be the same!!!!!!! ?
BRING BACK MCLACHLAN NOW!!!!!?

If you look through the articles on Mumbrella to the ones in January 2018, the main accuser said that she didn’t realize that she had been sexually harassed for three years. So if she considered it joking as is in stated in the article, what changed? All this is very fishy and seems that someone wanted to target him to make a name for herself not necessarily the accuser. It is interesting also to note that even though there were supposed to be hundreds of “Bill Cosby’s” only two older men were targeted. Something is very very wrong. I doubt the truth will come out. No ones background can stand up to the intense scrutiny that his has. The [Edited under Mumbrella’s comment moderation policy] three years later make it even more sad. I wonder what is the real story. It is pretty obvious [Edited under Mumbrella’s comment moderation policy]

Sorry to hear of this change. Dr. Blake and Mrs. Beasley are central to the storyline. Without him, I’m not interested enough to watch.

WOW!!! Was I ever surprised to hear this news. I think Seven’s should really consider what they are doing with this show. There is so much “crap” on T.V. and when I started watching Dr. Blake Mysteries, I thought that it was and is a fantastic show. I know people who run these companies think that money is their bottom line, but it can’t be. You have many lives to consider and you must get some backbone and stand up for what is right. Some joy has left my life…………

I will not watch Dr. Blake without Craig McLachlan. It doesn’t seem like anything has gone forward for this accusation towards him. How can you call a doctor Blake mysteries without Dr. Blake? I’m very disappointed and I will encourage all my friends to not watch it as well

There is a difference between criminal rape and naughty behavior. This isn’t said to suggest that the latter is OK. If McLachlan is using sexual innuendos as humor, all that needs to happen now is for the producers of any play or movie or TV show to mandate that if he is in the cast, he must not take part in such behavior. Contracts have contained morals clauses for many generations. By what one reads in online blogs, his fans are upset that he is off of the Dr. Blake Mysteries, so this whole issue apparently hasn’t done the damage that the producers appear to believe it has.

It’s interesting that these accusations came up during “The Rocky Horror Show” run, a musical about sexual bad behavior in the theme. We can only wonder if working several hours each day in such a show may have simply carried over into the after show time. There have been other actors in the last hundred years that have been known to take their characters home with them to help maintain them for the next day.

I am thirty minutes into The Blake Mysteries and I am contemplating shutting it off. When I would watch Dr. Blake I would never want the episode to end. This show without Dr. Blake is dragging on. I can actually say 30 minutes into the show it is boring. I don’t know who the writer(s) was if all of the Dr. Blake show but I would make a substantial wager that it’s not the same writer. On unsubstantiated allegations they went ahead and ruined an excellent show. I’ve always liked Jean a lot. I have nothing against the actress who plays Jean but in The Blake Mysteries, I don’t know what’s happened to her. I’m even finding the character of Jean annoying. She’s like a different person. Bottom line, the new show sucks. Why they ever thought they could pull this off without Dr. Blake is a strange mystery.

My favorite show. Utterly disgusting. The producers should be fired and bring back Blake

Series will not be the same with Craig mclachlan gone, Very disappointed.

Come on people..,surely you realize what a treasure dr. Blake mysteries is and has been. I am really sorry you cannot come to some sort of “truce”…..there are worse places to work and worse sets to work on…so suck it up and get back to the creative writing and great story lines and plots. You have millions of followers……and we are waiting. Egos be damned

I agree with Ann Silver. Jean is different and not really believable. Craig McLachlan was so terrific. I loved watching him. One of the best characters on tv and I am just not as interested in the show without him.

Please bring Dr Blake back. I am in America and love the series. I am also sick of women [Edited under Mumbrella’s comment moderation policy]. What is going on in this world ? Every part of our lives are being ruined [Edited under Mumbrella’s comment moderation policy]

I loved the show with doctor as the lead,very disappointing he is not apart of show
Boring without him
I will not continue to watcg

Simple and short.. need to bring Craig back as Dr Blake or you are wasting your time!! Not interesting and have stopped watching because of that! Jean is good but can’t take the place of Craig!! Sad, it WAS a great series!!! BBC really blew it this time!!!!!!!

As a resident of the United States and Australian born, I loved this show…the cast was wonderful…the stories were just great…to think I won’t be seeing it in the near future truly saddens me. Please, please reconsider putting our beloved Dr. Blake back in the near future.
Thank you

If there was nothing found to substantiate the charges .. they should bring him BACK ! The show is just not the same without him.. He IS the show !!! I tried watching the series 6, I noticed that in the episodes I watched he wasn’t dead, just missing.. They could easily “find” him .. or have him turn up.. Just bring him back ! This is crazy !

If Craig McLaughlin was “Cleared” of all charges…
You might wanna bring him back…Say, he was in China, looking for or with his daughter !

I personally think/feel that Jean Beazly ((Nadine Garner), is Absolutley Gorgeous…
And, you can continue to develop her Charter…With Craig McLaughlin on the show !

Just my “Yankee” thoughts…
Donald Davis

No no no no no not fair

Apparently somebody is STUPID

It its time to start to look at who profited financially and career wise from this. Who convinced the women after three years they had been assaulted? Who has [Edited under Mumbrella’s comment moderation policy] How many lives have been ruined? Women who have been abused need help. There was a [Edited under Mumbrella’s comment moderation policy] here. I have notice that mainly older successful men have been attacked around the world. Trying for the high profile for personal gain.

I watched the show last night without Dr. Blake. It’s just not the same. Please bring him back!

Please bring DR. Blake back! He is a great character and the show is
doing well but he is really missed!

Crag McLaughlin makes the show. That’s why it is so interesting.

I live in the USA,.. started watching Dr Blake series in October 2019. I love the character Craig Mclachlan plays! I am sure no one else is better in playing that part than him.
I am deeply sorry he will no longer be in the series, for he was cleared of any wrong doing towards his female counterpart
Please look upon his situation as having been a miss carriage of justice and reinstate him,I know all his followers are missing him from the show.
Thank You

If Craig Mclachlan was found guilty then he should pay the price. If he was not found guilty he should be back. I loved all the characters, but if PBS air the new Craig-les episodes I won’t be bothered. He plays the part very well as do all the supporting cast, and what use will they have for all those ugly cars!?!?! I know American cars with few exceptions, from 1900’s through the 1960’s could be very ugly, but I did not realise how ugly other car companies made theirs.

But I stray, if he was a perve give him the boot and shut it down, but if he is not being convicted then bring him back. I am in USA so we never get all of series sometimes as they simply do not appeal to a big enough bits of our society, or business wrangling with PBS and BBC. I do realize this is Aussie, not British. I will say a lot of imported TV is better then Netflix and other “original series” material. I am about to cancel my 2 streamers as they lost their imports of value ( The Sniffer, a Russian offering is simply stupid), while most that are left are just black soul sucking affairs. The Brits and the few Aussie offerings I have seen, over the years, were like American stuff, but a different tack. Not always better, just different enough to be enjoyable.

Fare thee well Dr Blake

Makes me very sad. Not worth it.

home and away and neighdours need Aboriginals in there shows too ,not asians, they should on blake’s show have one too. bring dr blake back next year with LOCAL Aboriginal.

bring him back and as the show is too white lets start a new thing and bring in a Aboriginal femail actress,

it will be good to see him back,but at least the rest of the creww are still in work,You do need to show the world even in the early 60’s Aboriginals were still there in ozz ,all the way from the land of poms,

I loved this series. I believe Dr. Blake character needs to come back
