I've watched this with an open mind as a fan of the original (and of Martin Clunes) and tried to appreciate it on it's own merits - I find it to be a good series, but doubt it will ever be as iconic as the original.
The new show is another interpretation of the original book (not he TV series, but the book the original was based upon) - forget Leonard Rossiter etc. as it isn't attempting to recreate that at all - it's not even set at Sunshine Desserts, but at GroomTech. |

Beauty
|
Beauty This is the second in a trilogy of comedy dramas (with Von Trapped and King of Fridges) based on the theme of being trapped. The setting of this film is superb and believable, and furthermore the casting was excellent. Martin Clunes perfectly plays a stuck-up Englishman clinging to the ways of the past in his run down stately home, hiding from a world he believes is not ready to accept his appearance. The film challenges issues we create for ourselves, and the assumptions we make about other people's beliefs and acceptance levels. If you want to watch a heartwarming tale which is beautifully shot and acted, this is one to choose. Its short, but packs in everything it needs to in the time. Its funny, but poignant, and subtle. |

Doc Martin
|
Doc Martin - Series 1 : 6 episodes - 50 minutes each.
Martin Clunes plays (fictional) Portwenn's local GP, Martin Ellingham, who was once a successful London surgeon until he developed a phobia of blood that prevented him conducting operations. After retraining as a GP, he applied for a post in the sleepy Cornish hamlet of Portwenn, where he spent childhood holidays. Much of the show's humour revolves around Ellingham's interaction with the local Cornish villagers. Despite his surgical brilliance, Ellingham lacks vital personal skills and any semblance of a bedside manner, and often fails to understand other people. Dr Ellingham (referred to as "Doc Martin" by the friendly locals), much to his disgust, finds the surgery is in disarray. The medical equipment is beyond repair, and the patients’ records are a mess. To top it all he inherits the world’s most incompetent receptionist, Elaine Denham, who clearly resents Doc Martin moving in.

William & Mary

William & Mary : Series 1, 2 & 3.
"The lives of William (an undertaker) and Mary (a midwife) cross. They become romantically involved, but what happens for the rest of the series is far less predictable". This is a brilliant series, certainly not a comedy as some might think, there are many heart rendering moments. William (Martin Clunes) is an undertaker by default and Mary (Julie Graham) is a midwife so you can imagine death is around them but there is also so much joy. What a premise to a series, one partner brings new life in to the world and the other gently takes it away. The writer and directors from the very first episode have built a tight and wonderful story based on the characters rather than the plot. Each character and there are many in each episode are acted perfectly. There are many twists and funny/sad moments throughout. |

Aussie celebrities are part of their research too and include that all-round ocker John 'Singo' Singleton, ex porn star Rick Worth and even former State Premier, Jeff Kennett. Together they traverse the great expanse of Australia, combining curiosity and wit, unmasking the unique intriguing and sometimes bizarre lifestyles of the men who have shaped the image of the Australian male.

Shakespear In Love

Shakespear In Love
Romantic comedy set in London in the late 16th century: Young playwright William Shakespeare struggles with his latest work "Romeo and Ethel the Pirate's Daughter" (So, that's where Python got the idea). The story is.... A great fan of Shakespeare's plays is young, wealthy Viola who is about to be married to the cold-hearted Lord Wessex, but constantly dreams of becoming an actress (she dresses as a boy - cropped hair [not called "Bob" a la Blackadder]). Women were not allowed to act on stage at the time, so female roles were played by men too, but dressed up as a boy, Viola successfully auditions for the part of Romeo. Soon she and William are caught in a forbidden romance that provides rich inspiration for his play. This is a superb film but Martin Clunes has a tiny part - 5 minutes max. Superb film though. |
