An excellent comedy series, ranks with some of the best in British comedy. The humour is derived from the characters and their interaction. Intelligent eminent surgeon meets country folk, who always appear to have the upper hand! Doc Martin, played by Martin Clunes, is an unlikely hero, but he carries off the part brilliantly. I love it!
