I watched every second of every minute of every episode of Doc Martin, the prequel movies, the holiday specials, and everything that was bundled together and trundled out to view. I adored every aspect of the show and rewatch it repeatedly as I know there will be no more. Ever.
The acting, the writing, and perhaps most importantly, the setting, a fictitious village in the Cornwall district of Great Britain all had a part in making the show memorable and appointment viewing not just for me but for millions around the world.
However, I think the show had one serious shortcoming: its depiction of the seagulls and the waterfowl that populate the region.
Somewhere, I suspect Alfred Hitchcock is smiling (but clutching his sammich with both hands).
