Acorn - Doc Martin Series 1 [DIGITAL VIDEO DISC]

This series is very humorous with colorful characters. It is not a comedy, per se, but it is very funny. Doc Martin says exactly what most people only think but wish we could say to his patients.

My wife and I watch episodes available on Netflix. This enables us to start at the beginning of the series and go to the end of what is available. Then we start over at the beginning and watch every episode again. I've read on IMDB that there is a season/series after the last series available on Netflix, but I don't know that it is available in the US.

Particularly like the "extras" - a great value.

Love the sires. Film quality is good.

Got into this series, viewing regularly in the 5th season. Starting with Series 1, am `catching - up` now with the story. Doc Martin is a great program - well-concieved, interesting, sometimes hiariously funny, with keen insights on human nature and (British) small-town living.

I purchased this series start as it was on sale, I had viewed one or two of the programs previously, and figured with a sale, to take the plunge and give it a try, I must say, as with most British series, it is another gem! Glad I bought it, and I will be getting more of the series.....

I enjoyed the whole series on PBS and wanted to own a set for viewing again, at my leisure. The setting is not the usual city, suburb, American town. It is interesting to see other parts of the world and this gives us a view of those parts. The acting is very well done and it is easy to understand what the actors are saying when they speak. They are all down-to-earth types of characters and totally likeable and funny. Even though they are not `American`, their personalities and problems are totally `relatable`. I HOPE that the writers will add a new sequel to Series 5. I'm sure it will be just as good as the previous ones. The writers do a fine job with the script, and the director does a fine job with the actors. Keep up the good work, folks.

The DVD was excellent. The price was excellent also. I did have a concern with the amount of time that it took to receive the DVD. It was almost a week from purchase to receiving the item. This seemed a bit excessive for this item. I tracked it and found it rather odd that it changed travel methods from UPS to USPS in the middle of the delivery. Faster delivery service would be appreciated.

I love just about everything about the series, especially the acting, the photography, and the familiarity of some of the subtext. Henry (an audiologist)and I have even had fun in noting some of the errors in medical statements. Can't wait for Season 5.

I began this series late in season 3 and wanted to start at the beginning. It is wonderful. I didn't give it 5 stars because I'm a little squeamish and I could have done without the chicken neck ringing scene in the pilot episode. Thank god it seems to be the only one in the series so far. It's not knee slapping funny. But I love Martin Clunnes. He seems able to do or say anything with a straight face. And for someone so mean, you really do root for him to settle down, calm down and get the girl.
