If all you know of the Doc Martin stories comes from watching the series, then this pair of TV movies that started it all may come as a bit of a surprise. The man that fans love to hate, the curmudgeonly village doctor played by Martin Clunes, is not nearly as acerbic in these feature-length films as he is in the regular series. But that’s OK. He’s certainly not perfect, or played that way by Clunes, and the stories are strong enough to cover up any gaps you may feel. Thankfully, there are still flare-ups of the man he will become, especially where dogs are concerned.
