Move over, Dr House...
angry doc's new favourite medical TV series for the year is.... no, not Grey's Anatomy, but Doc Martin.
A British series about a socially-inept surgeon (as rude as House, not as witty, but immaculately dressed) who switches career-path to become a GP in a small Cornish town. The architechure and scenery!
In the first episode we see Doc Martin's brusque style clashing with the laid-back attitude of the townsfolk, with disastrous results.
I'll be following this series.

Sounds like Martin Clunes playing a more educated version of his character in Men Behaving Badly...
Interesting!

Haha, that's where I remember him from too.
Interestingly, House is also played by a British actor.

The series Doc Martin is truly wonderful. I just managed to buy the box set of series 1 for £8.99 and I've watched it religiously. The second series is out here at the moment too - and it's even better.

maybe British actors can bring out the flavour. There are starking differences though, like Doc Martin's in a small town (where everyone hates him but needs him) and House's in a big hospital (where everyone hates him but needs him).. oh then again, not much =) Doc Martin's more polite I think haha.
but I think end of the day, Doc Martin's about the small town. Caught the first episode and it was haha-funny and also feeling a bit sorry for him. Suspect that I won't feeling sorry for him much longer. Thank God for Hallmarks!

Stylistically the two series are quite different. Doc Martin's pacing is more relaxed and less 'in your face', and the scripting and casting make the show feel more 'real'.
I must confess I watch the Hallmark Channel too much for my own good..
