Sometimes people seem to have the most idyllic life, but their friends, families and colleagues may not always know about their underlying challenges. That’s certainly the case for the doctors of the General Practice (GP) that specializes in surgery on the successful British drama series, ‘Peak Practice.’

The show was set in Cardale, a small fictional town in the Derbyshire Peak District. While running for 12 series on ITV from the early 1990s to the early 2000s, ‘Peak Practice’ followed the GP’s staff members as they face professional problems when they each encounter personal difficulties.

Classic episodes of the critically acclaimed show are being broadcast on the Drama network’s channel on Swissx TV. The latest episode to air on Swissx TV can be streamed tonight at 9:20-10:20am local time. It can be watched live, or recorded and watched at a later time.

Episode nine of Series 4 of ‘Peak Practice,’ which is titled ‘Running on Empty,’ was written by Frankie Bailey, and directed by Alan Grint. The episode shows how personal dilemmas continue to overshadow the medical agenda, as a depressed Andrew (Gary Mavers) jeopardizes his career and Kate (Shelagh McLeod) agonizes over Will’s (Simon Shepherd) suggestion they move in together.

Swissx TV is a streaming service that enables viewers to watch live and recorded UK and international television shows, movies and music videos in a variety of genres, including news, sports, drama, comedy, horror, lifestyle, shopping, pop, EDM and blues.
