Product Description
Product Description
He's surly, tactless, self-centered, and uptight-but he's the only doctor in town.
After his wedding day disaster, Dr. Martin Ellingham (Martin Clunes, Men Behaving Badly) is even grumpier and ruder than before. His former fiancée, Louisa (Caroline Catz, Murder in Suburbia), has left the village to avoid embarrassment. The doctor himself plans to return to London as a surgeon-if he can conquer his fear of blood. But it's hard to leave a place as charming and full of eccentric characters as Portwenn.
Matters quickly become complicated when Louisa moves back with startling news. Meanwhile, Martin's old flame, Edith Montgomery (Lia Williams), takes a job at the local hospital and sets her sights on the doc. Sparks and rumors fly as patients crowd his office: a shouting oil rigger, the inept local constable, a woman who sees her dead husband's ghost, and a man who eats his own hair. Facing all this, will Doc Martin leave Portwenn after all?

There will be comaprisons to "House" of course but to me this is far superior. Martin Ellingham is a brilliant surgeon who one day actully looked at what he was doing and instantly acquired a phobia to blood (he feels like throwing up when he sees any). As a result he has to leave surgery in a major city and moves to a small (quaint) English fishing village. Anyone who loved the movie Local Hero (as I did) will no doubt love this series. The main point of the movie is that Doc Martin is all business with not only no beside manner pretty much no personality at all, his social awkardness is mezmerizing (he even walks like a robot), but if anyone is in trouble he is there and of course deep down you know he has a heart of gold, but it is pretty deep down. My wife and I have our own tastes for TV shows but this is one niether of us miss, we look forward to when it comes on. Highly recommended.

Wonderful series set in Cornwall and has some fantastic scenery, quirky folks and a great storyline. Well worth the purchase and not available on iTunes or Netflix for rental as yet.

Disc 2 doesn't open.
The usual hilarity and angst one expects from this brilliant comedy.
Disc 1 with episodes 1 thru 4 were perfect, but Disc 2 couldn't be opened by my DVD player. Read more

A doctor who out-grumps Gregory House
Most of TV-watching North America knows about Dr. Gregory House, the cranky title character in the series "House" played brilliantly by Hugh Laurie. Read more

The last of the series I think, I did not want it to end. You will enjoy every minute of it.
