Season 1 episodes (6)

1 Going Bodmin
9/2/04
Doc Martin makes a bad impression on one Portwenn resident before he's officially hired. Things go downhill from there after he casts a pall over a local festival and gets punched in the nose.
2 Gentlemen Prefer
9/9/04
Martin fires his receptionist and informs the locals that they can no longer use his waiting room as a social center. In return, the villagers shun him, the cafe won't serve him, and patients cancel their appointments.
3 Sh*t Happens
9/16/04
A stomach bug sweeps through Portwenn. Martin creates mass panic by declaring it's the swimming pool, and then infuriates the locals by blaming the village water supply. Meanwhile, plumber Bert Large is making a mint off his new business: bottled water.
4 The Portwenn Effect
9/23/04
The annual Portwenn Players Dance is a highlight of the village's social calendar. Louisa invites Martin, but the doctor turns her down. Martin also pays a visit to a park ranger who believes he lives with a six-foot squirrel.
5 Of All the Harbours in All the Towns
9/30/04
Aunt Joan's old flame arrives in Portwenn and rekindles their romance. Confidentiality prevents Martin from telling Joan about the man's health problem. And the doc has love problems of his own: a local teenager has a crush on him.
6 Haemophobia
10/6/04
Martin faces his fear of blood when the town plays a joke on him, and when Peter suffers an injury that requires urgent attention.

About this show

Doc Martin: He's surly, self-centered, rude, and uptight--but he's the only doctor in town. Martin Clunes (Manhunt, Men Behaving Badly) stars as Doc Martin, a hotshot London surgeon forced to change careers when he develops a fear of blood. Relocating to a sleepy, scenic Cornish fishing village, he offends everyone in town and falls in love with a beautiful teacher (Caroline Catz, DCI Banks).

A brilliant show. I've been addicted since first brought to the States. It's refreshing to watch a witty, funny, clean show like this. Where you grow to have a love/hate relationship with characters. Saddest moment is still when Aunt John passed. Best moment was when baby James was born in the Pub over the P A. system So happy to see them doing season 7. Hopefully the pharmacist gets written off.

The characters are real. The situations are real. The interactions between people is just like what we experience in day to day life. I think that is the draw. Someone compared it to House a US production. There is no comparison. England has a law that a TV show must use real medical problems and not made up. Martin Clunes and Caroline Catz and company get it right with great acting. I wish it would go on and on. I never tire of watching it.

My husband and I, look forward to seeing new episodes of Doc Martin. We love this show and it characters, we watched them over and over. I wish this show would not end anytime soon. We really enjoyed British TV in the US. Doc Martin is our favorite next to the Indian Doctor. There's other shows on ACORN tv, that are better than US shows. Keep up the good work.
