Doctor Martin Series 1 Episode 1

Here is the first episode of the series "Doc Martin" about this stroppy ex-cardiovascular surgeon who goes to live and work in Portwenn, a tiny village in a remote place in Cornwall, in the South West of England. These series have been going on for some years in Britain now and were the inspiration to do the Spanish counterpart, "Doctor Mateo" (the British were first, though)
