[[ITV]] series,
Dr. Martin Ellingham is a man with two fairly large problems. Firstly, he's got all the social skills of [[Bones|Temperance Brennan]] with none of the attract[[Rule 34|iveness]]. Secondly, he's managed to acquire a [[Afraid of Blood|fear of blood]]. The latter resulted in him leaving his job as a successful surgeon in London and heading for the Cornish village of Portwenn to become their GP (General Practitioner, i.e. village doctor).
Line 8:
There he deals with the variety of [[Eccentric Townsfolk|local oddballs]], the medical enigmas of the week, his aunt, and his ex-fiancée who he got pregnant.
----
* [[Afraid of Blood]]: Martin, of course.
** {{spoiler|He seeks therapy to correct it in season 4 and is over it by season 5.}}
Line 39:
** Also, the Spanish version.
* [[Fish Out of Water]]: Not so much these days.
* [[The Fun in Funeral]]: Season Five, Ep2, plays this to the hilt with Joan's funeral. The hearse is late, the guests are weird,<ref>er than normal</ref>
* [[Game-Breaking Injury]]: It's implied that PC Penhale used to be a city cop (and/or a better cop) before being kicked in the head by a horse on a call. It messed him up quite badly, resulting in {{spoiler|narcolepsy, agoraphobia, and mood swings that ruined his marriage}}.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Suffered from this at first due to Martin Clunes being well known for playing Gary on ''[[Men Behaving Badly]]'', but this has decreased over time as he has become equally famous for this role.
