Doc Martin - Series 4 - Complete [DVD]

At series four, you might expect an idea and a cast to start to loose pulse, but this is not the case with Doc Martin and Co. As it happens, Martin Clunes' character is not the strength of this outing - the writers have confused social ineptness with aggressive rudeness, and he becomes less funny or sympathetic as a result. But, nevertheless, this series works well because the supporting cast are so grounded in their characters - and apparently so happy playing them. The production rips along. The eight-episode series operates in a defined time frame of four months, and the increased continuity between episodes enhances the interest. The introduction of Lia Williams to the cast is a stroke of genius. Her character is a nice foil to Martin and her performance is terrific. Those who found the final episode of series 3 a tad perverse will be favourably impressed with the culmination of this series. But what does it say about the possibility of a fifth series?

Martin Clunes and others continue at their very best. The whole series is easy watching, humorous, cringe-making at times, but overall hugely entertaining. We have had the pleasure to visit this location ourselves and it is a truly beautiful part of the country and this series continues to do it justice.MC is the Doctor behaving badly who seems to have gone through a character bypass in his past and he is very ably supported by a professional cast (and i believe a number locals) who really manage to bring this beautiful fishing village alive.The story develops the ongoing roller-coast relationship between Doc Martin and Louise who still has, it seems, a few surprises in her!I strongly recommend this series, as i would the others. It is one you will be happy to watch over and over again.

My mother in law bought me the first two series as a Christmas present and was disappointed when I didn't rave about them. That was before I'd watched any of the shows. If you like good clean comedy then this is hilarious and series 4 is just as good as the other three. Martin Clunes plays a GP in Cornwall with a serious personality problem and a phobia of blood. He is rude and bad tempered but in such a funny way that you forget his bad manners and laugh at the comedian the actor is. There is a great cast of supporting actors and a series of guest appearances each show. The scenery in and around Port Isaac is stunning. I would highly recommend the DVD.

Item arrived in quite short time.Shipping cost and cost for the item itself were convenient.Item in good/very good condition.The TV series is in English language only.I bought to exercize/improve my english (thankfully there are subtitles in english).The series is funny.Tipical english humor and quite easy listening (if your english is very good).

Excellent, Dr Martin, best pick me up on a wet day.

The series is excellent I could watch them over and over. The characters are so funny and a good laugh is good for the sole. The writers and producers of the series really hit the spot. The village is picturesque and gives a feel good factor.Brilliant!

another good series

I've seen every series of this show, but I didn't remember ordering this because I ordered this as a gift for a friend to give to a friend. I haven't actually watched the dvds, but as no one said anything I guess they were fine and happy with it.
