Show Summary

  • Returning Series
Martin Clunes stars in Doc Martin, a brand new comedy drama, as a doctor whose truculence and tactless manner causes mayhem in a small Cornish community.''''Martin plays surgeon Martin Ellingham, whose glittering career comes crashing down around him when he develops a phobia which prevents him conducting operations. He makes a life changing decision to retrain as a GP, and applies for a vacant post in the sleepy Cornish hamlet of Portwenn, where he spent childhood holidays. If the patients are expecting tea and sympathy from their curmudgeonly GP they are going to be disappointed. Despite his surgical brilliance, he has no personal skills, and his understanding of humans is practically non existent.''''Martin is joined by a prestigious cast which includes Stephanie Cole as his Aunt Joan, who provides him with emotional support in the face of the disquiet among the villagers. Caroline Catz plays pretty primary school teacher Louisa Glasson. Doc Martin is attracted to her, but he is hopeless at personal relationships.moreless

    We've watched every episode on Netflix - couldn't wait for next one, but restrained ourselves & watch every other day! Totally bummed that we must wait for 2011 Season to be available!

    I have sat and watched the first 4 seasons in a week through a recommended viewing on Netflix. This is a truly enjoyable show!!! Love all the characters so much. This is one that will make you run through all the emotions and leave you wanting more!!! Highly recommended!!! If you love Monk you will love this one too!!!! Was really sad when P.C. Mark didn't come back for another season, but, was pleasantly suprised that the new P.C. was just as funny and cute too!! I love the repeat characters to that come to the Surgery. You always wonder about extra characters and this one keeps them coming back to learn alittle more, and what happened to them. This is a real family show in comparison to what is being put on television these days.moreless

    Brilliant watching got totally hooked, one of the rare occassions that i spend time on the sofa with hubby to watch something good.I actually cried on the last one and i'm so itching to watch the next so hurry up so i can enjoy more of this wonderful show. I live in America and recieve it by netflix. Really didn't know that it's been going on for 6 years which i have caught up in a matter of 3 weeks.
    I've actually caught myself talking like the locals in the show and my co-workers have also commented with my reply " You have to watch Dr Martin "moreless

    What a breath of fresh air to tv!!! My husband and I just found this in Netflix. and gave it a whirl. We were completely hooked on it after watching the first season, first episode! We are now up to Series 3, but are only watching one episode every other night because there is only one series left to watch. Martin Clunes is HILARIOUS! The city of Portwenn is priceless!!! Whoevewr dreamed up this show, and cast was brilliant! Well Done! I hope the show continues on well after it's fifth season. This is one that deserves airing instead of all the trash that's out there. This IS truly quality tv.moreless
