To love Doc Martin even though it is the most unrealistic programme I have watched in a long time..

[Irishchic]

I mean, reallly! Doc M can diagnose the most obscure of illnesses just by checking someones eyes or ears and staring hard at them.

People just stroll into his surgery and get an appointment straight away.

The surgery is in his house.

Is it even any way an accurate depiction of a cornish village??

And dont get me started on the unrealistic romance between lousia and the doc fgs!

But I still love it!

Love it. Martin Clunes is brilliant in everything he does.
I would like to marry him and have his babies (if he wasn't ugly and I hadn't had a hysterectomy)

I have never been to cornwall so cant comment on that but my gp seems to think he can also diagnose illness based on a simple glance. I have been sent for a number of test because aparently my eyes stick out. all of them came back fine those are sadly (or not i suppose) my normal everyday eyes but everytime i go he comments on my eyes he clearly wishes himself to be doc martin.

The red-head receptionist was Pauline, and I miss her in this series.

I just wondered as well if maybe the programme really irritated people who actually lived in Cornwall, in that they might think it was a very corny stereotype of life in cornwall, in the same way for example that some really corny and totally unrealistic depictions of irish life are found in the Hollywood movies, (hello PS I Love you, which has to be the very worst one I've seen lately)!

I love Doc Martin. Pauline was fabulous. I also love the "gaggle" of young girls who are always popping up.

Best line from Doc Marten:

"She's dementing!".

One of my fave programmes. I love the policeman's ring tone ('things can only get better'). But I think it's filmed in Port Isaac rather than St Austell isn't it?

Martin said 'hello' to me in the village once when they were filming , but many years ago now

I snorted last week, when Doc M LOUDLY explained to Louisa where her perenieum is

or Doc Martin. Not the boots obv.

I love it too!
Martin Clunes is brilliant in everything he does.
Love him
Really like William and Mary aswell

SHUT UP. GET OUT. [GRIN]

It's Port Isaac. DH and I want to go there. Looks lovely.

I absolutely love it. It's my comfort blanket telly.

The policeman is Karen from Outnumbered's Uncle as he is the brother of the bloke from behind the bar in Hotel Babylon who is her Dad.

My mate visited the place and she said it's lovely. I want to live there. i want to live in Doc Martins house...And I think Luisa is just sooo pretty.
The old receptionist was great (seen her in Maltesers ads now)
Pure escapism...am loving my monday night telly; corrie, eastenders, corrie and now Doc Martin. Fab!

I've just started watching it this series so I don't know the backstory - who he is or why he's there. I've gleaned that he's trying to go back to London but that's about it.

I love watching Doc Martin, all those fab cornish accents and Joe Absolom . I want to move there and teach at the little school!

It is like watching a big snuggly duvet of a programme.

Loved last nights, the grandad threatening to wait at the gates for Doc M with a big stick and his response - you're in no postition to threaten me, you've just had a cardiac arrest

We go down to that area several times a year and it is just so beautiful.

He was on the radio the other week and he is supposed to have Aspergers.

I love it. Our old family GP was like that ... really rude to everyone, but a very clever Doctor.

YANBU

I watch it occasionally. Some of the accents are rather amusing, surely we must have some local actors? There are very few people I've met in real life that sound Cornish, I don't think I have a strong accent myself although in Manchester people seem to think I'm cockney! I know we have lots of emmets living down here now which will dilute things.

I guess it is the same everywhere that has a programme set locally and uses actors from elsewhere.

I just remember that programme with Dervla Kirwan and your man who was a priest in that twee little village in Ireland, cant remeber the name of the prog, oh YES, Ballykissangel!

That programme drove me mad with its Irish nutiness.

Maybe I love Doc Martin because I am not from Cornwall..

My mum got me into it, the very first episode I watched was the one where Louisa gave birth when they repeated it a couple of weeks ago. I was about 30 weeks pregnant at the time and announced I was having a birth like that! Few weeks later I'm hanging onto that hope...

Pauline the receptiponist has also been in The IT Crowd and The Boat That Rocked

unpa1dcar3r No No NO! You don't watch Doc Martin after Eastenders or Corrie 21st-century-shouty-depressing-tele! You watch it for pure escapism (Not sure what program you watch it after, better if you don't watch anything beforehand) I just only watch Doc Martin and don't watch anything else before it starts TV is usually off.

Slightly OCD, I know but I just can't bear all the rubbish depress boat TV these days, that why I love DM it's funny, not too serious, interesting characters, beautiful location and no one's trying to kill, hating anyone.

Corrie and Eastenders with Doc Martin? No way!

Ooo I'm from st Austell too :-) theres a few of us on here!
