Martin Clunes returns as Doc Martin for Series 4
Martin Clunes is back in Cornwall to film a new series of the ratings winning comedy drama Doc Martin for ITV1. He returns to play the curmudgeonly Dr Martin Ellingham whose truculent and tactless manner upsets the convivial community of the picture postcard village of Portwenn on the North Cornwall coast.

Martin Clunes just loves playing the grumpy TV doctor who has proved such a hit with viewers. "I'm not a happy hero. I'm rather refreshed by the fact that he's just so wrong and bad," grins the star of Doc Martin. Better make the most of the new seven-part series, filmed and set in Cornwall, as there won't be another one for at least a year or two. Martin says he wants to take a break from acting, having also recently been on our screens in the New Zealand drama The Man Who Lost His Head.

Medicine man Martin Clunes loves not having to prescribe a smile. "That's fun for me. It's liberating," says the star of award-winning comedy drama Doc Martin. He's back in the role of curmudgeonly Dr Martin Ellingham, still failing to display any sort of bedside manner as a GP in a small Cornish community, having been forced to give up his high-flying city surgical practice.
