After four very successful seasons, petulant Doc Martin (played by Martin Clunes) is back. He has a baby with no name, a new job in London whose starting date keeps getting postponed, a replacement ill-equipped to hold down the position, and a death in the family. Forced to continue with his work in the beautiful seaside town of Portwenn, Martin struggles to maintain his stiff upper lip in the face of the mess his life has become. Dealing with sleepless nights and a ditzy new receptionist, plus the usual village drama, is not at all to Martin's liking, but persevere he must until the post in London comes through. Bonus features include behind-the-scenes clips.
VERDICT Doc Martin has won numerous awards in Britain and has become just as popular in the United States, so run, don't walk, to purchase this latest in the continuing saga. Your patrons will thank you.
