Doc Martin

As Dr Martin Ellingham settles into the Cornish village, his blunt manner causes friction with the locals, which makes him wonder if he made a mistake.

After opening his village medical practice, Martin finds that locals use his waiting room as a social club and his receptionist is not up to the job.

When a nasty stomach bug hits Portwenn, Martin needs to consider the fortunes of local businesses as he tries to track down the source of the virus.

Socially awkward Martin turns down an invitation to a village dance from local teacher Louisa. He also treats a park ranger with an unusual problem.

When one of Joan's former suitors returns to Portwenn to rekindle their relationship, Martin discovers that he has a serious heart condition.

The news that Martin can't stand the sight of blood spreads through the village and leads to a practical joke, while Peter Cronk's fall causes panic.
