Description
The TV movies that inspired the hit series
There’s more than one way to tell a good story, and Doc Martin is no exception. Before the hit series launched in 2004, two made-for-TV movies introduced the main character and the picturesque Cornish fishing village of Port Isaac (later called Portwenn).
Martin Clunes (Men Behaving Badly) stars in both feature-length films as Dr. Martin Bamford. Here he’s an obstetrician, and his reasons for leaving London are more personal than professional. Unlike ornery surgeon Dr. Ellingham, he’s not rude, irascible, or socially inept—he even smiles! But we get glimpses of his selfishness, short temper, and distaste for dogs.
In Doc Martin, the doctor flees to a coastal village to reassess his marriage and his career. In Doc Martin and the Legend of the Cloutie, he resorts to camouflage, subterfuge, and folk magic to get what he wants: a secluded house in the country away from his nosy neighbors in town. Also starring Anna Chancellor (Four Weddings and a Funeral) and Pam Ferris (Rosemary & Thyme).
Disc 1
Doc Martin
After learning that his wife has been cheating on him, Doctor Martin Bamford impetuously leaves London for a week in a coastal village he visited as a child. Charmed by the scenery and the locals, he stays longer than he planned, makes friends, learns to fish, and helps solve a mystery.
Disc 2
Doc Martin and the Legend of the Cloutie
Now settled in as the local G.P., Doc Martin longs for privacy. Everyone in the village knows everything about his life. He wants to buy a large, isolated farm, but his plans fall through when a London family swoops in. To secure his dream home, the doctor uses local folk magic and invokes a fabled beast.

Doc Martin - the movies,
By
This review is from: Doc Martin - The Movies (DVD)
I am a Doc Martin addict, and now have all the series that have been put to DVD. Also have Saving Grace, the movie that started the whole thing and thoroughly enjoy all of them. Getting the Doc Martin movies was great fun - he is much different that in the series, but Martin Clunes is a terrific actor --- delightful addition to my library.

Doc Martin,
By Merry Bell "Merry Bell" (London, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Doc Martin - The Movies (DVD)
You have to love someone who can do well in spite of himself. The curmudgeon, in Doc, is defeated only when his caring side comes through. Then he puts his foot in it and down the drain he goes. An excellent portrayal by Martin Clunes.
