Doc Martin 2001


Doc Martin: the Movies

     Martin Bamford is working as an obstetrician but he learns from his three best friends that his wife has been cheating.  He needs to leave the city and return to Port Issac in Cornwall to clear his head.  He meets a fisherman and decides to keep going out on his boat to help him.  He contemplates becoming a partner with the fisherman and leave medicine behind.  There is a mystery in the village, someone is delivering congealed jellies to doorsteps with messages inside.  Martin is suspected of being the jelly deliverer because he's a bit different and new to the village. 
     This is funny and different.  It is the first film with the storyline about Doc Martin.  There are four movies and a series with episodes 1-6 with and episode 7 to be filmed in 2015.  Doc Martin is younger and much less abrasive in this film.  He doesn't display the lack of a pleasant bedside manner too.  3 1/2* (I liked this movie)  

90 min, Comedy directed by Ben Bolt with Martin Clunes, Dominic Rowan, Richard Dillane, Richard Dillane, Oliver Fox, Mathew Bose, Christopher Pizzey, Debbie Norman, Lynsey Baxter, Mark Heap.

Note:  Imdb 7.7 out of 10, Amazon 4.3 out of 5* with 332 reviews.
