'It’s like no time has passed at all': Caroline Quentin reflects on reuniting with old friend Martin Clunes for Doc Martin... 19-years after playing on-screen couple in Men Behaving Badly

But while more than 19-years have passed since their much-watched show about the hapless interactions between four thirty-something friends came to an end, Caroline Quentin admits the near-two decade gap was not an issue after reuniting with Clunes on the set of medical drama Doc Martin.

The actress, 57, takes a fleeting role as Angela Sim on the Cornwall based show, which stars Clunes, 55, as the titular Dr. Martin Ellingham, a frequently irked vascular surgeon who trades London life for a remote Cornish village after developing haemophobia – a fear of blood.

‘When I work with Martin it’s like no time has passed at all,’ she explained during an appearance on Monday morning’s edition of Lorraine. 

‘There's something about mucking about in an adult environment that's great, and generally annoying everyone around us.’

We're about 40 minutes apart so we see each other all the time,' she explained. 

Off-screen, Caroline raises children Emily and William with second husband Sam Farmer - a former runner on BBC show Jonathan Creek, where they met - in rural Devon.

But she believes the modern world, all too often defined by rapidly evolving technology and contrasting ideologies, has increased her responsibilities as a mother.

Alan Davies: 'Lunatic' fitness instructor pushed my four-year-old daughter over at London leisure centre

LONDON EVENING STANDARD
SOPHIA SLEIGH
15 December, 2014



Actor Alan Davies today branded a fitness instructor a “lunatic” for allegedly knocking over his four-year-old daughter over in a scuffle at a London leisure centre.

The Jonathan Creek star hit back after Eamonn O’Connor accused him of “losing it” after he tried to pass him on stairs at the gym in Swiss Cottage.

The 48-year-old QI panellist was was questioned under caution by police after he was accused of grabbing climbing instructor Mr O’Connor at Swiss Cottage Leisure Centre.

Mr O’Connor alleged the star ‘lost it’ and went for his throat as he tried to walk past the family on the stairs.

He told the Sun: “When he reached the bottom of the stairs he just turned and went for me.

“He just flipped. He grabbed me by the throat. He was growling and not making any sense. The only words I heard were ‘I’ve got my kids with me’.”

Mr Davies took to Twitter to hit back at the accusations, claiming Mr O’Connor knocked over his daughter Susie, reducing her to tears, and he was acting to protect her.

He said: “This idiot pushed my four-year-old over because he was ‘late’, when I pushed him back.

“He screamed ‘assault’. It was unbelievable. Several witnesses told the police that he was the aggressor and had to be restrained by staff.

“She wasn’t really ok and I can’t do anything about the idiot without asking a four-year-old to make a statement. She was very upset as was my three-year-old, [but] they’re fine now.”

When asked if he would have done anything different in retrospect, Mr Davies replied: “Knocked him to the middle of next week maybe.”

He described both his children as ‘very upset’ but said they were fine following the altercation on Friday, October 10.
