Doc Martin Series 7

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

“Doc Martin” series 7 has already aired in the UK and will come to PBS here in the States early this year. But I couldn’t wait; when the 2-disk DVD set became available in December, I bought it. This evening I finished the series and am left wanting more. I don’t want to give anything away, so I’ll only say the Series 7 features familiar veterans, an unexpected guest star, and a few new characters who bring with them an assortment of problems for Martin and possible romance for PC Penhale. I’ll also say that the end minutes were beautifully done, and the final scene serves equally well as a final fade out or a possible segue to Series 8 if that should come about.Martin Clunes has said he’s willing to continue the character, but the final decision lies with ITV who finances the series. I’d love to see it continue, for it is everything I enjoy. So… here’s hoping.-Jim Nolt

Doc Martin is simply the best dramedy (drama comedy) ever produced on television! If you are missing these episodes you are out of your mind! Series 7 starts with the usual grumpy Doc Martin but now he is more fearful of losing Louisa than ever. Poor Bert Large is having to find a new avenue of business and his son Al isn’t doing all that well running his own tourist business–there is an hysterical interview with the new host of Portwenn radio and Al can’t even answer simple questions about what kind of fish his tourists are catching. Series 7 is as good as ever and please god, bring us a series 8! I love all the people in this Cornish village with all my heart.- Kent

This series caught our attention a few years back and we have become attached to the characters and the beautiful Port Isaac in north Cornwall on the England coast that is the setting for the fictional village of Portwenn. The “Doc” is extremely obsessive, controlling, and incapable of showing emotion which makes for some poignant but mostly hysterical situations. The episodes are best watch sequentially to understand all the relational dynamics. However, if you’ve seen a few and get to know the characters, you can pick almost any of the episodes and be entertained by the mostly humorous interactions. The writers do a great job of developing some very disturbed residents and adding occasional outside characters that add to the dynamics of the relationships between the main characters. We really like the director’s choices for the actors especially their range ages and their natural appearances which really makes the show more real or lifelike. If this is the last series for this show, we will miss it greatly.-L-the-Wiley
