Any "Doc Martin" fans??

[greatauntoftriplets]

Our local PBS ran the first two seasons three times and finally got to Season 3. Last episode was where Martin finally proposes to Louisa. Great program, I love Martin Clunes' deadpan humor.

1. Yes... Absolutely love the village setting and the actors.

I got to see the final episodes ahead of time during the British run. Despite the loss of Aunt Joan, it was a nice final season (series).

3. I read that Aunt Joan dies....

Too bad, she's quite a character and a good foil for the stuffy Martin.

5. Aw gee, I wish I hadn't read that.

Thanks for the spoiler.

7. It had been widely reported in stories on the series return for last season...

I read that she died before I ever saw any episodes from the last season... Sorry... Frankly, I was glad to know so that I wouldn't be disappointed when she didn't appear. She was always one of my favs on the show.

2. Love it! From DU2, my thoughts

Doc Martin - - - possible spoilers.

I like this program so much I'm watching again, from series one, episode 1

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Doc_Martin_episodes

Some of the thing I enjoy about this TV show are:

Cars are backwards; driver is on the wrong side

The village Portwenn looks live someplace I would enjoy living

The road from Portwenn to Auntie Joan's farm is one vehicle wide

Door knobs in the center of doors sure look odd

The Large father and son

------

They started the fifth season last fall.

4. But Al is large only in name.

They are quite a pair.

6. The new series is available on DVD around March 19

I'm looking forward to it.

8. Love Doc Martin.

My PBS station never keeps a set time to show it so I always forget about it.

If you have Netflix, they have the first four seasons.

9. One of my favorites!

I spent an entire day a while back on Netflix re-watching each season. Can't wait to see the new one!

10. Big fan.

Wish the PBS stations around here would get it together so there is some order to it. I've seen Louisa have their baby twice but out of seqence. The on screen guide had a blurb about coping w/ the loss of Aunt Joan but it wasn't the one shown.

I wish they were still making Foyle's War. I love that series.

11. Auntie Joan Died?

Netflix only has up until Louisa had the baby.

[xxqqqzme]

12. I don't know!

The on screen guide said 'coping with the loss of Aunt Joan'. But the episode was not shown, so I have no idea - Did the actress playing her pass away? I can't imagine writing her out of the program. Other than the one time Martin's parents show up, she is the only family we know about.

16. Stephanie Cole

The actress who plays Aunt Joan is still living and acting.

[Hestia]

18. Netflix has the entire series for streaming, which is where my husband & I discovered

the series. Love It! Martin has other family from his dad's side and she is great. Fits right into the series. Last season is supposed to air on PBS in November, but Martin Clunes has said that every year - this season/series will be the last, so we'll see.

[Chiennoir54]

13. Yes, discovered it by accident

But like it a lot. Quirky English village reminds me a bit of "Northern Exposure." Clunes plays such an unpleasant person, yet it's hard not to like him somehow. And one I saw him in the "William and Mary" series from BBC also, where he is so nice and personable, I realized he is really a fine actor he must be.

[SoCalDem]

14. I think I'll have to buy the boxed set.. They seem to show them out of sequence

The last one I remember was when the baby was kidnapped by the loony pharmacist.. I like the show, but it;s hard to get continuity when there's such a gap

[Skeeter Barnes]

15. Started watching this summer. It's great. Thanks for the spoiler about the aunt.

[mockmonkey]

17. I Love it

Here's a funny video of Stephanie Cole (Aunt Joan) and Martin Clunes.

19. Oh, yes... I found a way to watch every episode through to the series finale. It was great.

and that scenery... Oh, wow.
