About Doc Martin: Series 2
Amazon.com Throughout the eight episodes comprising the second series of Doc Martin, the cold, severe Doctor Martin Ellingham (Martin Clunes) may not get too much friendlier but he does reveal, in the oddest ways, his affinities for people he truly cares about. As a man who, in the first series, was kicked out of London back to his hometown, Portwenn, a remote Cornish fishing village, Doc Martin is set-up as a bitter medicine man who cures with his brain instead of his heart. In the first episode, "Old Dogs," Martin's confidence is undermined by two cases he solves incorrectly. First, his mother's friend, Mrs. Steel (Margaret Tyzack), grows senile while Martin believes she is fine with tragic results. Weirder is the tale of fisherman Eddie, who continually comes to Martin's office with cuts, bruises, and worse. While Martin searches for clues in this episode as well as in the subsequent few, the gripping medical mysteries are leavened by humor introduced through petty town gossip. Whether in line at the grocery, or walking to work, Martin is accosted by curious townsfolk who probe him and seek his advice, to his chagrin. The show illustrates small-town life, in the tradition of American classics Northern Exposure and Twin Peaks, and in fact shares some of its more bizarre plots with Lynch's. In this second series, other characters become central to the community's movement, and the quiet, friendly demeanors of others offset Martin's gruffness. "In Loco" focuses on the local primary school, where Martin's crush, the beautiful brunette, Louisa Glasson (Caroline Catz), prepares to interview for a headmaster position while an outbreak of an infectious disease spreads like wildfire through the student population. Teenager Peter (Curtis O'Brien), whose mother burns herself frying fish in the fish 'n' chips shop, attaches himself to Martin as a stand-in father figure. More, the grungy dog pawing his way into Martin's house is the carrier of this dread illness. Throughout the series, one sees Martin attempting to connect to women, children, and animals, with minimal success, minus a few miracles. His jovial receptionist, Pauline Lamb (Katherine Parkinson), shakes her head and occasionally cracks a joke at his attempts. In "Erotomania," Martin even tries to bond with Police Constable Mark Mylow (Stewart Wright), who suffers when he discovers that his fiancé, Julie Mitchell (Angeline Ball), is not who she claims to be. Ultimately, Doc Martin is about the dramas of small-town health, the ways people connect, but more interestingly, the ways people isolate to maintain semblances of privacy in places where there is little. --Trinie Dalton Product Description In this delightful fish-out-of-water series, BAFTA-winner Martin Clunes (Shakespeare in Love) plays Martin Ellingham, a rude, self-centered doctor with a crippling phobia of blood. Formerly a hotshot London surgeon, he relocates to the idyllic seaside village of his youth and immediately offends everyone in town. He eventually earns the grudging respect of the local citizens, but what he really wants are the affections of Louisa Glasson (Caroline Catz, Murder in Suburbia), a beautiful schoolteacher. The second series sees the return of Louisas former beau, a development that makes the good doctor even crankier. Also starring Ian McNeice (Dune) and Stephanie Cole (Waiting for God).
