Brits haven't had a good comedy since Benny Hill. Anglophiles are idiots.

Doc Martin

[–] GlenEllyn (21526) 8 years ago

I just started watching Doc Martin and have gotten through series two. I first watched the two movies that started it all and thought they were pretty good. I had quite a few "wait, what?" moments when I started watching series one, however, because I had no idea that they made so many changes for the series. I can see why they felt some of them were necessary, but it was a little confusing at first.

(I have to stay away from the Doc Martin show page though, as there are too many spoilers around.)
