There aren't that many tv programmes that Noi and I make a thing about watching, and generally the ones we do involve murder. So it's refreshing to view something that isn't quite so dark. We're more than happy to be enjoying a new season of Doc Martin. We saw the first season in the run-up to Christmas a few years back when we were in the UK and have been delighted since to find it broadcast on the ITV Choice channel. Surprisingly it appears that it is now popular enough to warrant a showing within twenty-four hours of its UK debut - at least, that's what the ads for it say. Quirky, off-beat British humour that goes practically nowhere doesn't normally have such appeal over here. Maybe it's the gorgeous Cornish coastal scenery that does it.
Tonight's episode was business as usual. A silly story-line about Martin's aunt dealing with an amorous obsessive stalker which was entirely predictable, mixed in with predictably silly stuff from the remaining inhabitants of Portwen (if that's how you spell it.) Nothing out of the ordinary - the way we like our telly.
