Doc Martin - Series 1 - Complete (DVD)

I bought this DVD set because I thoroughly enjoyed the series on tv and wanted to see it again...and, I suspect, again and again. No doubt it will be repeated by the Beeb, but I like being able to watch it all at a time of my choosing. Martin Clunes is at his best here and is ably supported by a talented cast. The show is a nice blend of light humour and drama, but its greatest strength lies in the way the characters have been developed so that you care what happens to them. First class entertainment. If it has any fault, it is that the outtakes were not as funny as I expected them to be, but I can live with that.

my dvd came in good time, i was notified about a posible postal strike, but felt would be recieving it with out problem.

I bought it because i had heard about the story.
it was worth buying and pleasing to watch. reccommended.

Avid fan of this series - and the best actor was picked to play this role - he is stupendous!!!! The scenery is breathtaking and the story plot is captivating - you just can't stop watching it! We became hooked watching the 3rd series on TV and then realised what we had been missing - so the complete series was an absolute must - and we have not regretted one minute!

VERY FUNNY - I DECIDED TO BUY THIS DVD BECAUSE I GOT INTO DOC MARTIN VERY LATE AND DIDNT SEE THE FIRST SERIES

Excellent series starring the fantastic Martin Clunes! He play's the miserable Doctor Ellingham in a small cornish town. It follows the accidents, emergencies and comedy mishaps in the community and the on off relationship he has with Louisa Glasson the school headmistress.
The whole cast of this Tv programme are fantastic and you will laugh all the way.

Possibly certain episodes were better than others, but there were none that could even be described as anything but good. Clunes playing a straight role here, is funnier than all the supposed 'comedy' series he has been in before.

There are all aspects of human life to be found here, some slightly exaggerated for effect no doubt, but none obtrusively so. Casting for the other characters in this programme was either very lucky or done with extreme thoughtfulness. Caroline Katz as head teacher, is superb as a potential partner for the 'Doc'. You sense that at sometime they'll get it together, but their clashes keep you guessing as to when!

Despite the fact that he has an aversion to the sight of blood, Ellingham proves his real worth when he has to cope with a life or death situation of one of the school children who has aruptured spleen, and operates in the ambulance en route to the hospital. It is interesting to note the reaction of young Peter who forms an affinity for the doctor, recognising him as a kindred spirit of whom no one is particularly fond.

All in all a refreshing change to find a TV comedy that is actually funny whilst maintaining a kind of sweet innocence about it. Well worth getting the DVDs if you didn't see it on TV the first time. I find it's one of those programmes that you can watch once in a while when you need cheering up, even if you've seen it before.

Martin Clunes is renowned for his acting ability, comedy, farce and black comedy he excells.
This has to be the finest series, as the first normally always is, as the pithy, no nonsense one liners abound, and we still expect the doctor to be more than human with compassion oozing from every pore.
Doc Martin doesn't do compassion, but you are aware from the very start that this doctor is the one you need to see when you are in trouble.
I cannot think of any other actor who could portray this egotistical genius better than Martin Clunes.

The dvd was bought for myself, having only seen half the series, and enjoyed it so much, I had to see the rest of the series. It is very funny and all the characters are either odd, eccentric or interesting and of course it is set in a very beautiful part of the country, Cornwall. When the second series is released I shall buy that one to.

the item i bought was not a geniune dvd version of doc marten series 1 which was evident by the poor quality art work. i accept that price paid was reflected in the goods i recieved. my feedback for this item showed this. if i had left bad feedback then he would have done the same to me. my feedback means more to me than £5. i have lost one good feedback point because i left bad feedback for rubbish goods. that bad feedback point should be removed from my account because the seller had previously given good feedback and retracted it when i gave my feedback. i did everything right and he did everything wrong and i was penalised

I was very pleased to find the first series readily available on DVD, as I had missed a couple of episodes, when it was originally screened on ITV.
Martin Clunes causes havoc throughout the sleepy village of Portwenn, which in turn is populated by a host of colourful, local characters, who have their own stories to tell. The scenery and cinematography are excellent. The run time is 292 minutes. I was, however, disappointed by the lack of extras, which any fan of this classic series would expect to be included.

excellent price and very fast delivery for a very humourous dvd. Ihave already bought the next part in the series and am eagerly waiting for it to arrive.

love the cast, the filming location and the story lines. purchased because i had seen series 2. brilliant viewing
