Reef Doctors

Reef Doctors is an Australian television drama series that premiered on Network Ten on 9 June 2013.

Pre-production

Reef Doctors was the first non-children's show produced by Jonathan M Shiff. As well as starring in the series, Lisa McCune is a co-producer. Filming commenced on 28 November 2011 in Queensland, around the Great Barrier Reef, and finished in April 2012. The series was due to be broadcast from September 2012, but was pushed back to June 2013.

Ratings and reception

The series received mixed reviews upon its long-overdue premiere.

The first episode finally aired on 9 June 2013 at 6:30pm, attracting low ratings of just 357,000 for Network Ten. These low figures caused Ten to move the show into a different time-slot, on Fridays at 9:30pm, but even that proved to be too much to ask, because it then failed to attract reasonable viewing figures in its changed time-slot. As a result, the show was subsequently moved to Ten's digital channel Eleven from 29 June 2013.
