Doc Martin Episode Five: Selina Cadell shines as Mrs Tishell returns to the village and causes problems for Martin and Louisa

One of my primary criticisms of last week’s Doc Martin was that there was no continuation of stories set up in the previous episode. Thankfully, this week’s instalment is slightly more story-orientated as we witness the return of Mrs Tishell, the chemist who was obsessed by Martin, as well as the continuation of the Doc’s blood phobia. At the same time, I feel the show relies too much on comedy stories, most of them involving PC Penhale in some way.

Mrs Tishell’s reappearance in the village following her stay in a psychiatric hospital is indeed giving a couple of Portwenn’s residents a few sleepless nights. Top of this list is Louisa who can’t seem to get to sleep due to her worries about Mrs Tishell’s behaviour. Obviously Louisa is right to worry as, when she was last in town, Mrs Tishell ended up kidnapping James. Martin is also struggling to sleep as he is still worrying about the fact that his blood phobia has returned. Both of the Ellinghams come to Ruth about their problems and in turn she tries to deal with them. Ruth attempts to allay Louisa’s fears by agreeing to speak to Mrs Tishell while she agrees to refer Martin to a specialist who will be able to deal with his phobia better than she can. Eventually Mrs Tishell returns to the pharmacy and is instantly outraged by the way that Jennifer has changed things around. Ruth soon arrives at the pharmacy and is glad to see Mrs Tishell is using certain coping strategies to deal with her feelings. When Louisa accidentally runs into Mrs Tishell she is quite short with her and accidentally reveals that she and Martin had recently got married. Though Mrs Tishell claims to no longer have feelings for Martin, it seems that she’s visibly shaken by this news.

The Miserable Git

It’s two years since we last saw flinty curmudgeon Dr Martin Ellingham and when we return to the pretty Cornish village of Portwenn nothing has changed – he’s still a miserable git. Even the prospect of his much-anticipated wedding to his beloved Louisa doesn’t put a song in his heart. The couple’s first attempt at matrimony fell apart, but at last they are successful (this isn’t a spoiler, the nuptials are in the opening minutes).

The ceremony is smartly dispatched by a very impatient groom and we spend the rest of the episode with the happy couple (Martin Clunes and Caroline Catz) as they confront a string of disasters on a hopeless honeymoon. There’s not much of a story, just a series of increasingly weird and barely credible incidents. Back home Aunty Ruth (splendid Eileen Atkins) is babysitting, and has her fair share of troubles, too.

About this programme

1/8. New series. Portwenn is buzzing with excitement as the final preparations are made for the Doc and Louisa's big day. However, Martin is irritated by PC Penhale, who wrongly presumes he is best man - and to make matters worse, the bride is late. This isn't the first time the couple have tried to get married - will the villagers have to put the confetti back in the box again? Martin Clunes and Caroline Catz star in the hit drama, with John Marquez, Eileen Atkins and Ian McNeice.

The ITV Press Pack - The Overview Bit! SPOILERS!

 

Wedding bells are ringing in Portwenn as Martin Clunes returns to Cornwall to play the nation’s favourite grumpy medic in a brand new series of Doc Martin for ITV.

Martin Clunes reprises his role as Dr. Martin Ellingham, the GP with a brusque bedside manner and a phobia of blood, in eight new episodes of the enormously successful drama produced by Buffalo Pictures and set in the idyllic hamlet of Portwenn.

All the regular members of the cast return for this popular series, filmed in the picturesque North Cornwall village of Port Isaac.

Caroline Catz plays Doc Martin’s long-suffering love interest and local school headmistress, Louisa Glasson. At the end of the last series the couple’s baby boy James was kidnapped by well-meaning but deranged pharmacist Mrs Tishell. The nightmare brought them closer together and prompted a marriage proposal from the Doc to Louisa,
for a second time.

Eileen Atkins is Doc Martin’s formidable Aunt Ruth. She doesn’t suffer fools, just like her nephew, and doesn’t think twice about taking on her neighbours and creating confrontation. In the new series Aunt Ruth decides to move out of the isolated farmhouse she inherited from her sister and into the village after an incident which unsettles her.

Ian McNeice returns as local restaurateur and handyman, Bert Large, with Joe Absolom as his tolerant son Al. With the restaurant struggling to stay afloat Bert dreams up another money making scheme which means Al having to give up his room and look for somewhere else to live.

John Marquez plays bumbling local police officer PC Joe Penhale, who seems to create more problems than he solves as he attempts to instill law and order into the community.

Jessica Ransom is the doctor’s scatterbrained receptionist, Morwenna Newcross, who’s looking for love online with surprising results when she meets her internet date.

Annabelle Apsion (Shameless, The Village, A Mother’s Son) joins the cast as the new pharmacist, Jennifer Cardew, who re-kindles a romance with Bert Large. Claire Bloom(The King’s Speech, New Tricks, Trial and Retribution) plays the Doc’s mother who arrives with sad news for her son. Guest stars include Paul Moriarty (George Palmer in EastEnders, Doctors, Ashes to Ashes) and Ronald Pickup (The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Lark Rise to Candleford).


As the new series begins Portwenn is buzzing with arrangements for the wedding of theDoc and Louisa. Will they finally tie the knot, or will the villagers have to put the confetti back in the box again?

Martin Clunes says: “It was great to be back on the beautiful North Cornish coast to shoot series six of Doc Martin. Our challenge this series will be to force Louisa and the Doc to live happily together with baby James.

“The Doc is as obstinate as ever though, and viewers will just have to wait and see whether their wedding will finally go ahead.”
