Amazon.co.uk Review

The adventures of Doctor Martin Ellingham--more commonly known as Doc Martin--have proven to be one of ITV’s most popular hits of recent years. And within this series three DVD set, you’ve got plenty of evidence as to why.

For newcomers, Doc Martin, played with effortless skill by Martin Clunes, is a surgeon based in a small Cornish village. But it’s not his direct, blunt manner that proves to be his only problem. No, the issue too is that the Doc has a phobia of blood. It’s not the handiest problem for a Doctor to have, but it does allow Doc Martin to mix in good chunks of comedy alongside its drama.

The third season of the show, spread across three discs in this set, finds it in terrific form. Boasting a strong cast, with Caroline Catz’s Louisa. Stephanie Cole’s Joan and Joe Absolom’s Al among the standouts, Doc Martin’s popularity is easy to understand. Because not only is the acting terrific, and Clunes must really take the plaudits too, but the scripts are of consistent quality.

It should be noted that the end of the third series was the cause of some debate among fans, although this reviewer was certainly impressed by it. But what’s less up for debate is that Doc Martin is one of the best mainstream dramas British television has thrown up in recent years, and that this DVD set offers some super entertainment. --Jon Foster



Synopsis

Dr. Martin Ellingham (Martin Clunes, MEN BEHAVING BADLY) is a surgeon with a difference: he can't sand the sight of blood! You'd think this would force him to reconsider his vocation in life, but no; he's quite content acting as the sole physician of a sleepy Cornish village. But it's his abrasive bedside manner--rather than his haemophobia--that puts him at odds with the eccentric townsfolk and gives rise to many humourously awkward situations. This release contains every episode from the third series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!, 5 Jan 2008
By K. Robertson - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I followed Doc Martin right from the 1st series, and I can safely say that the 3rd series doesn't disappoint! The comedy and drama mix together beautifully, and the setting for the show is stunning. The relashionship between Louisa and Martin is hilarious and heartbreaking at the same, due to the depressing end to the series. However, with six other episodes to enjoy, and a 4th series coming out later this year, Doc Martin fans have plenty to celebrate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Doc Martin - A Pure Tonic, 29 Jan 2008
By Brian Carson (London UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Now ' Doc Martin - Series 3 ' is as good as ' Doc Martin - Series 2 ' if not better as it allows more screen time to ' Caroline Catz ' and of course ' Martin Clunes ' is on Top Form as normal.

Actually rather than Doctors handing out expensive Drugs to people suffering from Depression really they would be far better prescribing a course of Doc Martin DVD's

Take it from me it has not lost any of its Steam and this should Run and Run.

IYV have confirmed that they have commissioned a fourth series.

2.0 out of 5 stars Big disappointment, 30 Dec 2008
We laughed uncontrollably through the first 2 series of Doc Martin, and so eagerly anticipated Series 3.

The hilarity and local charm of Series 1 and 2 are entirely absent from Series 3; the comedy has been transformed into a drama in which the Doc makes heroic medical save after heroic medical save and somehow manages to have a relationship with Louisa. A key character, PC Mark Mylow, played by the amazing Stewart Wright is gone, his PC role replaced by a character who never becomes much of a presence despite repeated attempts. There is little sense of community, and when new characters are introduced, they are rarely seen again. The series has become dull, the searing wit and rapid-fire zingers are gone, and characters become progressively less engaging.

The reason for this disappointment is obvious: the entire core of original creators are present but for Dominic Minghella, who wrote or co-wrote practically all of seasons 1 and 2. Brother to the late Anthony Mingella, he co-wrote 4 episodes with his sister Edana Minghella. I hope that Philippa Braithwaite and Martin Clunes lure him back to make a series 4, along with the fabulous Stewart Wright, whose absence is a key factor in the torn community fabric.
