Doc Martin (2004–2022)
Who was John Coleman?
6 April 2008
Warning: Spoilers
mitchell-81 asked who John Coleman was. He was a standby props man who died in a fall from a cliff and is remembered in the end credits of the series final that year.

This show is truly a great watch. Most of the characters are pretty well drawn and definitely well acted. Martin Clunes is perfect in the title role of the rigid no nonsense medic and Caroline Catz as always is lovely and well cast as the kind but frustrated school teacher and eventual "love interest". Others like the plumber come restaurateur Bert Large, Aunty Joan, PC Mylow, and the swathe of slightly odd characters that make up the village are what I've come to expect from these sorts of "seachange" stories and are what round the shows off so well.

Do yourself a big favour and watch this show if you haven't already. If you have watch it again.

Pie in the Sky (1994–1997)
Intelligent, quirky drama
4 December 2004
"Pie In The Sky" is one of those great little programs that comes along now and then and which the British are so good at creating. It is well scripted and well acted and the cast contains two great character actors, Richard Griffiths and Maggie Steed as (Inspector) Henry Crabbe and Margaret Crabbe. Henry just wants to retire from the force with his police pension and run his restaurant but is prevented by ACC Freddie Fisher. Henry's ability to solve crimes makes Fisher look good to his superiors. Bella Enahoro as Cambridge and Samantha Janus as Nicola are just gorgeous. One even picks up a few recipe tips along the way. It's a shame it didn't run for longer but all good things must come to an end and it's one of those shows that I continue to watch in repeats.
