Doc Martin, Series 3

Extremely funny, quirky villagers, but beautiful seaside town stories.
Doc Martin Series 3 is lacking only in quantity of episodes. This is too fun a series to settle for so few. Of course Series 1 & 2 helps. Rude, grumpy Doc (Martin Clunes) vomits at the sight of blood. You'll laugh at the sight of other townsfolk in this serene, beautiful, fictional Portwenn (filmed in Port Isaac, Cornwall). Aunt Joan (Stephanie Cole) is sane, almost, as is teacher Louisa (Caroline Cutz). Receptionist and phlebotomist Pauline (Katherine Parkinson) is outrageously funny along with Bert Large (Ian McNeice) and...well the list goes on with the regular cast.

If you love English seaside village views and homespun humor, this is a series that will tickle your fancy, every episode, and make you beg for more. Episodes tend to carry over to the next and all have SUBTITLES. This is some of the best British Doctor's Life Comedy/drama ever produced. The "Doc Martin Series" is to Medical Comedy what "Pie In The Sky" is to Police Comedy. (See my reviews on both.)...

Please! Please! Please!
I have quickly become a HUGE fan of Martin Clunes, and after viewing the first two series of this show, I want MORE MARTIN CLUNES!!! Please, please, please release this show on a Region 1 US edition DVD, so I can continue to get my MARTIN CLUNES FIX. The show is phenomenal, I'm glued to my seat for every episode.I just can't wait to see the next installment of Doc Martin, Complete Series 3.

The best season yet!
If you liked Doc Martin seasons 1 and 2, you will LOVE season 3. The side stories are funnier than previous seasons, and the relationship between the two leads finally moves on a bit. Martin Clunes once again fills the screen with his subtle, hilarious facial expressions. And more so than in previous seasons, Caroline Catz gets the chance to display her own perfect comedic timing, and gives Clunes some serious competition in the "rubber-faced" department! The ending isn't what one would hope for, but not to worry...there are eight more episodes to follow in season 4. Only complaint: Why did Acorn Media change the episode titles for North America??? Doc Martin has already aired in Canada with the originals. I found episode five's change from "The Holly Bears a Prickle" to "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do" especially cheesy. Sorry, but the originals were far more clever and quirky...a much better fit, as Doc Martin itself is best described as the definitive clever and quirky...
