Martin Clunes is back as the curmudgeonly Dr Martin Ellingham, whose truculent and tactless manner causes mayhem in the small Cornish community of Portwenn.

Series 2 follows the surly doctor as he continues to negotiate his way around village life.

Back to help and sometimes hinder, are Aunt Joan, Bert and Al Large, the local plumbers, local bobby PC Mark Mylow and school teacher Louisa Glasson, who's no clearer about her feeling for Doc Martin than she was when she first met him!

Martin Clunes is once again joined by a host of British talent including Stephanie Cole, Caroline Catz, Ian McNeice, Joe Absolom, Stewart Wright, Felicity Montago and Ben Miller.
