About Doc Martin...

12 years ago

Thanks to recommendations here I spent the afternoon watching the whole first season of this show. I really enjoyed it. Oh, I was able to do this for free online because of my membership in Amazon Prime. Gotta love it.

I watched the first 4 seasons at Netflix.
I just wish that I could now find season 5
somewhere!

I'm seeing a new season on TV. Would that be season 5? It's after the baby is born.

I just have to laugh at "Martin." What a grumpy, social misfit!

What is this Plant from Doc Martin series

It is naturalised in Australia and invasive in some places. So check first if you are going to get some. Also invasive in S Africa. It loves walls, pavement cracks, anywhere with sharp drainage and slightly alkaline soil. Spreads by wind born seed and self sows widely. Here's some in a wall near me, along with Campanula portenschlagiana, another wall loving self sower and Ceanothus.

What happened to Doc Martin?

Yes we do have to contend with PBS funding ( and really, you can do that by buying a CD for yourself or someone) Double bonus that way. Martin Clunes (Doc Martin) has had to work hard at pitching his ideas. He has had a stop and start career but we can say "huzzah" to him for his persistance because his talent and writing have saved him. Here at this link you can see a couple of other sides to him, including smiling. And read his bio. Here is a link that might be useful: Martin Clunes

DH and I have enjoyed so many UK series. Our library has almost everything we wanted on DVD. I can't even remember what season we're on with "New Tricks". If you like "Doc", you might like "Reggie Perrin" (with Martin Clunes). I've enjoyed the "Downton Abbey" series. However, we just watched Season Two, Episode 6, and I'm sorry to say it is starting to feel like a daytime soap. Our spinal-injury hero is evidently about to regain use of his 'nether parts', and we've had a case of *amnesia* in the plot. Oh, puhleese! This isn't up to the high standard of the story line thus far -- although The Lady and the Chauffeur is a trite cliche.

Any Doc Martin fans out there?

I watched a few episodes online and they're running it on PBS now. There's some amusing spots and I like the premise. I really *want* to like it but can't get into it. Some of the accents are too heavy and hard to understand which makes it difficult to follow too. Either it's going to take a while to get used to it or I don't know if I can get into it. Maybe I just need to sit and watch it from the beginning to get used to the cast and watch it grow a bit. There's a lot of the britcoms I really enjoy but can't really get into this one yet.

Joann -- Martin was a successful London surgeon who developed a fear of blood. A new position was found for him as a general practitioner in a village in a small seaside town in Cornwall. He had spent childhood summers there with his aunt, who still lives there.
Martin has excellent diagnostic skills but extremely poor social skills and an awful bedside manner. (I'm guessing Asperger's syndrome.)
That makes for some very amusing interactions with the local folk, patients and all, and the series contains many dramatic and moving moments as well. We love the show.

Some major changes in this last Season...but it still
has me hooked. Wouldn't some of those "villagers"
absolutely drive you bonkers? No wonder he is
so cranky. LOL LOL

Read recently that they are going to produce another. I loved how the final one ended, it is hard to create in my mind how they can make this any better. If you are patient enough to watch episodes in 15 min. splits, Yahoo has all of them. Just key in Doc Martin and go to the ones you want.

We've also enjoyed Martin Clunes ("Doc") in a sit-com called "Reggie Perrin". Not AS good, but still laugh-out-loud.
