Movie / Show Details

Doc Martin is a British comedy-drama series that premiered in 2004, starring Martin Clunes as Dr. Martin Ellingham, a surgeon from London who moves to a small Cornish village to work as a general practitioner after developing a fear of blood. Unable to continue his prestigious career in the city, he finds himself in a quirky seaside community where his abrasive personality and lack of social grace create constant friction with the locals. Caroline Catz, Ian McNeice, and Joe Absolom round out the cast as Martin navigates romance, village politics, and the challenges of small-town life. Directed by Ben Bolt, Craig Ferguson, and Nigel Cole, the series blends dry humor with genuine drama and romantic tension.

This first season arrives on two DVDs with a total runtime of 22 hours and 36 minutes, rated TV-14. Produced by Buffalo Pictures, it marks the beginning of the show’s run that would span multiple seasons.
