Make an appointment with Doc Martin this Mother’s Day, as Momentum Pictures releases the fifth series of ITV’s highest-rating comedy-drama on DVD. Sharply scripted and filled with an array of wonderfully crafted characters, Doc Martin continues to go from strength to strength with each and every series.
Martin Clunes reprises the role of the curmudgeonly Dr Martin Ellingham whose truculent and tactless manner upsets the convivial community of the picture postcard village of Portwenn.
Series 5 sees the doc struggling to cope with being a new dad, whilst trying to resume his highflying career as a surgeon which threatens to take him away from the small Cornish village.
Joining Clunes are regular cast members Caroline Catz (Murder in Suburbia, Vice) as Louisa Glasson, Ian McNeice (Rome, Dr Who) and Joe Absolom (Vincent, Eastenders) as Bert and Al Large, and John Marquez returns to his role as the village policeman, with Selina Cadell as pharmacist Mrs Tishell.
Dame Eileen Atkins (Upstairs Downstairs) joins the regular cast as the doctor’s Aunt Ruth, along with Louise Jameson (EastEnders, Dr Who) as Louisa’s mother Eleanor, Jessica Ransom (Armstrong and Miller Show) as the new surgery receptionist, Morwenna Newcross, and a prestigious line up of guest stars including Julie Graham (Survivors), Peter Vaughan (Lark Rise to Candleford), Joanna Scanlan (Getting On, The Thick of It), Robert Daws, Miriam Margolyes, John Duttine and Anne Reid.
