Martin Clunes says Men Behaving Badly could not return 'these days'

"I mean we talked about things like Kylie Minogue's buttocks and compared them to a racehorse's. How could we do that now? But neither could you get a show like Doc Martin commissioned now. Someone would say, 'Where's the murdered prostitute in the opening scene?'"

Doc Martin review

One last dose of feelgood fun . . . or was it?

Carol Midgley, The Times, 14th November 2019

After a first half that's sleepy even by Doc Martin standards, this episode ends with two fine comic set pieces: first, a diagnosis battle with a vet (Caroline Quentin, reunited with her Men Behaving Badly co-star Martin Clunes), and then a layered misunderstanding involving a knife wound. Bloody good fun.

Jack Seale, The Guardian, 6th November 2019

It's a new series of the topical panel show - series 58, in fact - and Martin Clunes is in the host's chair, his 16th appearance in total. That's it for the old and familiar; the "new" will be whatever makes the headlines this week, and in these eventful times there should surely be no shortage of conversation.
