Mercy Peak - First Episode
Television (Full Length Episode) – 2001
In just 60 episodes, Mercy Peak was a fully realised world in a small town ... its strengths were the subtle interplay of characters' lives and themes combined with careful and clever scripts.
– Reviewer Fiona Rae after the final episode of Mercy Peak, NZ Herald, 1 April 2004
Our funding arrangements with the District Health Board may not be important to you but I can assure you, they mean quite a lot to me!
– Doctor William (Jeffrey Thomas) to the new doctor, Nicky (Sara Wiseman)
You're a fool, William, and arrogant. How hard do you think it is to get a decent doctor to come and work here? If you can't see that, you deserve to drown in overwork.
– Mercy Peak Medical Centre's General Manager Louise (Alison Bruce) to doctor William (Jeffrey Thomas)
Yeah, right! I dream about a weekend off.
– Doctor Nicky (Sara Wiseman) on the phone to a co-worker at the hospital
