In the new season, the general practitioner is left catching the baby after bothering the new caregiver within moments. Now, luckily Mike agrees to take care of James in a short time, which raises a real controversy among everyone however, Louisa is not happy with the arrangement and controversy erupts among newlyweds in these moments.
This enduring hit for ITV is by now rather flat... Ultimately what redeems Doc Martin is Clunes's ability to show what one might call expressive deadpan. It's almost up there with Roger Moore's eyebrows.

It's a rare thing but the pleasure of Doc Martin (ITV) is in the minor characters, the pepperings of humanity who surround Martin Clunes's borderline sociopathic central figure... But it goes off the rails when it strays from its quirky community beat.
Actor Martin Clunes is now so accomplished as this character, I am sure he could not put a plaster on a simple cut. Delightful stuff. It's not trendy but we love it.
The on-again, off-again relationship between Martin and Louisa was teased to the point of exasperation by writers... To some extent this continues even throughout Series Six, but the show seems to have rediscovered its rhythm.
