syndicated around the world giving it world wide
success. Starring Martin Clunes as a hapless, grumpy doctor
for Portwenn. Before becoming the village doctor he was
a surgeon who suddenly developed a phobia to blood,

of Portwenn in Cornwall. The doctor is called Martin
Ellingham but the locals call him Doc Martin.
