Doc Martin

Martin has a new receptionist and a new problem: Louisa's former love, the suave Danny Steel, has come home to Portwenn. Meanwhile, Martin detects signs of dementia in an elderly patient and learns the shocking reason for a fisherman's long history of injuries.

An accident in the local fish-and-chips shop and a nasty skin rash at the school make Martin even crankier. Louisa is up for headmistress, and Martin, as an unwilling governor of the school, must decide if she’s in or out.

Martin treats two brothers for salmonella poisoning, likely caused by the putrid contents of their fridge. But there's something else amiss about this family, which has a bizarre passion for taxidermy-and a mother who hasn't been seen in years.

A local radio host seems to have a drinking problem but refuses Martin's help. The doctor does have another patient who welcomes his advice: an old man emitting a horrible stench. To add to his frustrations, Martin's romantic triangle becomes even more complicated.

When a village woman dies at home, the husband accuses Martin of murder and takes out his anger on Martin's aunt Joan. The doctor also makes inept attempts to rekindle his friendship with Louisa.

Martin's estranged parents come to Cornwall for an icy reunion with their only son. His father sneers at Martin's small-town status and his mother barely speaks. But as the real reason for their visit comes to light, Martin reveals an unseen side.
