Great. I'll have to check for it.

I just started watching William and Mary. Martin Clunes is William, an undertaker who is a widower with 2 daughters. Mary is a midwife with 2 sons. They meet in the first episode through a dating service and then the dating and fun begins along with a wealth of misunderstandings, complications, and humor. It was filmed in 2003.

About Doc Martin...

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.

Marti, I know that Craig Ferguson is a multi talented man, and he and another man created the Doc Martin character, and he was the gardener in Saving Grace. He has several more scripts and movies to his credit, so I cannot say whether the one you ran across is it or not. But I can guarantee you one thing.....you will be amused and really LOVE the movie. The movie SAVING GRACE, the two Doc Martin movies, and the Doc Martin series episodes, are all laid in the Cornwall fishing town of Port Isaac. Now I am interested in looking into ROSEMARY & THYME.... I do thank you for introducing me to the Doc Martin series, which dovetailed so well with Saving Grace. It is the kind of story.,..and scenery....that I can get my DH to watch. Common gardener, like you AND like moi, and then a real horticulturist, like I have a friend who is one of those, but she is so laid back it is hilarious, always working on HER huge property, and doing volunteer work related to gardening and clean waterways. Really a fine friend. Maybe you need to find yourself such a friend too? I sure have learned a lot of Latin from her. I have a really great story to tell about her and volunteer work, but this is not the place to tell it.

Yes this has come up before in the perennials forum. They are Centranthus, and in that mild, cool summer zn 9 climate are in bloom for most of the year.

I keep having shows presented as a series get by me also. Often something recently encountered will not be new. Although sometimes the broadcasting of it is a debut even though it dates from a few years back. And they keep showing old episodes out of sequence - the last time I watched Doc Martin it was likewise from the time when the couple was living apart.

Oh sorry mare. I'm actually watching it on plain old cable TV. I watch it on NJTV (New Jersey Public TV) which I get at home, but I even get it at my vacation home closer to you in Pike County, PA on Cablevision.

"Rosemary and Thyme" was quite enjoyable! -- it ran for 3 or 4 season but I can't imagine I've seen all the episodes, so I'll have to put that on my "search" list.

Mar: How did you get that e-mail from Netflix on "Doc Martin"? Had you seen previous seasons and it automatically generated the e-mail to previous viewers? I'm only on Month 1 of my Netflix subscription, so I'm curious...

I don't know how or why I got the email, I just did. I have had Netflix since last Dec and have watched previous seasons of Doc Martin. I thought that everyone got it or at least previous Doc Martin viewers.

Our local PBS station has completed its' broadcast of Doc Martin Season 5. We record them. Have only the last episode left to watch.

They sure found some cute babies for the filming.

We've seen the mooning pharmacist, Ms. Tishell (Selena Cadell?) in a couple of other British series of late.
