In 1978, about 18 months after the long running Doctor In-At-On shut down, two of its stars went to Australia to make a new series of 13 episodes to air in early 1979. This isn't the only time an ended British comedy was revived Down Under and I will be sharing others here.
To the best of my knowledge, I don't believe Doctor Down Under ever received an official commercial release. At one time, and in very short supply, a very impressive looking DVD release did make an appearance but I think it was actually a bootleg and it soon disappeared from availability. Currently, on AmzAust, someone claims to have a new copy for sale for 1700 Australian dollars. I bet if someone attempted to purchase it they would receive a "sorry, no longer available" reply.
