Plot

edit
Doc Martinis filmed in the Cornish village ofPort Isaac.

Dr Martin Ellingham (Martin Clunes), a brilliant and successfulvascular surgeonatImperial College London,developshaemophobia– a fear of blood – forcing him to stop practising surgery. He obtains a post as the solegeneral practitioner(GP) in the sleepyCornishvillage of Portwenn, where he had spent childhood holidays with his Aunt Joan (Stephanie Cole) and Uncle Phil, who owns a local farm. Upon arriving in Portwenn – where, to his frustration, the locals address him as "Doc Martin" – he finds thesurgeryin chaos and inherits an incompetent receptionist, Elaine Denham (Lucy Punch). In series 2–4, she is replaced by Pauline Lamb (Katherine Parkinson), a new receptionist, and later also aphlebotomist.In Series 5, Morwenna Newcross (Jessica Ransom) takes up the post.

The programme revolves around Ellingham's interactions with the local Cornish villagers. Despite his medical excellence, Ellingham is grouchy, abrupt, and lackssocial skills.His direct, emotionless manner offends many villagers, made worse by his invariably unpleasant responses to their ignorant, often foolish, comments. They perceive him to be hot-tempered and lacking in abedside manner.In contrast, he feels he is performing his duties professionally and by-the-book, not wasting time chatting. Ellingham is verydeadpanand dresses formally in a business suit and tie, regardless of the weather or the occasion, and he never takes off his jacket, even when delivering babies. He has no hesitation in pointing out the risks of unhealthy behaviours (eg. smoking), both in private and in public gatherings.

The villagers eventually discover his fear of blood and the frequent and debilitating bouts of nausea and vomiting it causes. Despite this handicap, Ellingham proves to be an expertdiagnosticianand responds effectively to various emergencies in his medical practice; thus, he gradually gains grudging respect from his neighbours.

Ellingham does not get on with his parents but has a warm relationship with his aunt Joan, who provides emotional support. When she dies after a heart attack, her sister Ruth (Eileen Atkins), a retiredpsychiatrist,comes to Portwenn to take care of her affairs and eventually decides to use the village as a permanent retreat, offering Martin the support Joan had provided.

A major theme throughout the series is Ellingham's relationship with a primary school teacher (eventually school headmistress) Louisa Glasson (Caroline Catz). Due to his difficulty in expressing feelings and his insensitive nature, the relationship has many ups and downs, though they eventually have a baby and later marry.

TheGolden Liondoubled as Portwenn's local pub, The Crab & Lobster.

Other series regulars are father and son duo Bert and Al Large, who are always trying to run a small business of some type; pharmacist Sally Tishell who is infatuated with Martin; and Mark Mylow, a quirky police officer who is replaced in Series 3 by the bumbling and inept Joe Penhale.

Regular cast members have characterised Ellingham's personality thus:

Joe Absolom: "The Doctor is... slightly autistic, probably, on the spectrum."[5]
Martin Clunes: "Lots of people say that he is Aspergic or something to some degree—which, yes, I think he is."[6]He has also said, "He's wired the way he's wired, but growing up being loathed by both your parents is going to leave a footprint. That's why he's so dysfunctional with relationships, 'cause there's gaps in his makeup. A sad little boy in there comes out a lot, and that's what a lot of that frowning is."[5]
Eileen Atkins: "He's unable to connect with people. He can't understand why people can't just take the truth, in a rather rough manner. If your parents have been very cold towards you and just factual, then that's very hard for you to grow up being—'loving' is too strong a word—an affectionate person."[7]

Original character

edit

Martin Clunes originally played a character called Dr. Martin Bamford in the comedy filmSaving Grace(2000)—written by Mark Crowdy andCraig Ferguson—and its two made-for-TV prequels,Doc MartinandDoc Martin and the Legend of the Cloutie,which were made byBritish Sky Broadcasting(BSkyB). The prequels show Bamford as a successfulobstetrician,rather than a surgeon, who finds out that his wife has been carrying on extramarital affairs behind his back. After confronting her with his discovery, he escapes London and heads forPort Isaac,a small coastal town in Cornwall that he remembers fondly from his youth. Shortly after he arrives, he is involved in the mystery of the "Jellymaker" and, following the departure of the village's resident GP, decides to stay and fill the vacancy. In these three films the village is not known as Portwenn.[citation needed]

The Martin Bamford character is friendly and laid-back, seeming to enjoy his retreat from the career pressures and conflicts he left behind in London. Hedrinksandsmokescarelessly, including a mild illegal drug, and has no problem getting his hands and clothes dirty by temporarily working as a lobster and crab fisherman aboard a local boat.[citation needed]

The original deal had been to produce two television films per year for three years, but Sky Pictures folded after the first two episodes were made, so Clunes's company tried to sell the franchise toITV.The new network felt that the doctor character should be portrayed as a "townie", a fish out of water who is uncomfortable in the countryside. They also wanted something darker, so Clunes suggested that the doctor be curmudgeonly, socially inept, and formal. The new doctor's surname was changed to Ellingham, ananagramof the last name of the new writer, Dominic Minghella, who was brought in to rework the doctor's background and create a new cast of supporting characters.[citation needed]

Apart from Clunes, the only actors to appear in both versions ofDoc MartinareTristan SturrockandTony Maudsley.[citation needed]

Novelisations

edit

Two novels by Sam Hawksmoor, using the byline "Sam North", were published byEburyin 2013. The first,Practice Makes Perfect,adapts the teleplays of series one; the second,Mistletoe and Whine,adapts the teleplays of series two. The author employs some timeline shifting, linked to character internalisation and point of view, so the narratives are not always as linear as in the teleplays.[citation needed]
