Editorial Reviews

He’s surly, tactless, self-centered, and uptight--but he’s the only doctor in town.

"Delightful … You’ll be hooked in no time." --The Globe and Mail (Canada)

Dr. Martin Ellingham (Martin Clunes, Men Behaving Badly) is brilliant, dedicated, and highly efficient. He’s also brusque, abrasive, and terrified of blood. Once a successful London surgeon, he’s now a GP in the idyllic Cornish fishing village of Portwenn, where he’s every bit as eccentric as the villagers he serves.

With his terrible bedside manner, he has insulted everyone in town several times over. His relationship with Louisa (Caroline Catz, Murder in Suburbia) seems dead in the water. And he faces fresh challenges: The town’s new constable has narcolepsy. Martin’s beloved aunt Joan is aging. His receptionist, Pauline, is bored. He’s also being pursued by a hypochondriac hotelier, much to Louisa’s dismay. All of which make the good doctor even grumpier--and his antics even funnier. "The unlovable Doc Martin will win your heart" --Brattleboro (VT) Reformer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely funny, quirky villagers, but beautiful seaside town stories., December 23, 2009

This review is from: Doc Martin, Series 3 (DVD)

Doc Martin Series 3 is lacking only in quantity of episodes. This is too fun a series to settle for so few. Of course Series 1 & 2 helps. Rude, grumpy Doc (Martin Clunes) vomits at the sight of blood. You'll laugh at the sight of other townsfolk in this serene, beautiful, fictional Portwenn (filmed in Port Isaac, Cornwall). Aunt Joan (Stephanie Cole) is sane, almost, as is teacher Louisa (Caroline Cutz). Receptionist and phlebotomist Pauline (Katherine Parkinson) is outrageously funny along with Bert Large (Ian McNeice) and...well the list goes on with the regular cast.

If you love English seaside village views and homespun humor, this is a series that will tickle your fancy, every episode, and make you beg for more. Episodes tend to carry over to the next and all have SUBTITLES. This is some of the best British Doctor's Life Comedy/drama ever produced. The "Doc Martin Series" is to Medical Comedy what "Pie In The Sky" is to Police Comedy. (See my reviews on both.)

Bonus stuff includes cast filmographies and fun trivia along with subtitles.

For the detail minded:
..1 Tick Tock--Includes Pauline and Louisa seems to be trying to help doctor locals including a girl who jumps on car tops, her overweight mom, the fainting teacher Louisa, overlysleepy new cop, and a blind man with an untrained dog.
..2 The Morning After--Bert large changes from plumber to chef. Scenic Portwenn is hit with widespread food poinsoning, including Louisa, unrequited love to the stiff naive Doc. A general misdiagnosis also proves to be a huge error in source.
..3 Love Thy neighbor--Louisa's new neighbors, a psychologist, has strange parental practices for their brat son. Conditions run rampant with the cop being agoraphobic (going out fear) & narcoleptic (sleep disorder), and others with rashes, and then there was Doc's blood phobia, & inability to tenderize a relationship with Louisa.
...4 The GP Always Rings Twice--Admirers aplenty in Portwenn. A divorcee pursues Doc. Auntie Joan has 'relations' with a painter. The plumber/chef's son, Al, Pauline's old flame, returns. Then there's Princess Tinkle, she dog.
...5 Breaking Up Is Hard to Do--Pauline's gambling on the internet at the surgery. Doc & Louisa gamble on a real date. And kiss. Nothing's going very well leading up to an unrelated beach accident and a surprise outcome.
...6 The Two of Us--Portwenn engagement news is rampant. Aunt Joan hears by rumor--oops! Large Restaurant struggles as does many with fungus illness.
...7 In Sickness and in Health--A very pregnant bridesmaid shoots her eye with a party popper. The vicar's drinking. The reception patio is flooded. Wedding florist is arrested. The bad news continues on this the wedding day.

Delightful, warm, hilarious, witty, and quick dialogue moves this beautifully filmed series along so fast you'll be disappointed when the complete list of episodes are done. Then, like me, you have to click for a notification of Doc Martin, Series 4. I think I should go back and repeat Series 1-2-3 in the meantime.

This review is from: Doc Martin: Complete Series Three [Region 2 Import - Non USA Format] (DVD)

I have quickly become a HUGE fan of Martin Clunes, and after viewing the first two series of this show, I want MORE MARTIN CLUNES!!! Please, please, please release this show on a Region 1 US edition DVD, so I can continue to get my MARTIN CLUNES FIX. The show is phenomenal, I'm glued to my seat for every episode.I just can't wait to see the next installment of Doc Martin, Complete Series 3.
