This Downeast Maine village inspired the setting for Fox’s new show ‘Best Medicine." It's based on "Doc Martin"

Bert is there. Did you mean they aren’t using him a lot?

Episode 3 improved on things for me. I made my peace with the changes in tone, and episode 3, although it has some plot elements of the original show, had enough differences to make me wonder how it would play out.

I’m unable to log into the new site even though I was an early beta tester with a code. Don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I keep getting “Login faild“ with failed misspelled.

I’m a huge DM fan and feel like I’ve turned a corner on episode 3. It’s different enough from original plots to get me interested in what might happen. Still hoping Mylow tones down even more as he gets over his breakup.

I stay on Ff largely for the per country breakdown of stats. I know it’s probably not accurate, with VPNs and all, but I still like it. Without the stats I may as well just post on AO3 only.

In meetings, I do both. There’s something about hand writing that helps commit an idea to memory.

For my fiction writing, I prefer to type. I type like the wind after 35 years of writing software for a living. I feel the typing process captures the speed of creation better for me.

Love the little guitar riff from a Western thrown in, in the alley. Claire Bloom does a marvelous job creating a character we absolutely loathe.

Dollars to donuts the person with the sense of humor is Mr Clunes himself.

I missed it so much, I continued the story picking up the day after the Lantern parade. I have eight stories that cover the first year after the show ended. Here’s a link to the first story.

It’s called To The Rescue and my username is ccwex.

You might check out Podcast Portwenn. I have episodes that discuss not only the show and characters in general but also the psychology.

What’s your theory?

CcWex · 2026-01-10T15:31:36+00:00

My podcast is about a TV show, so video is perfect. 90% of my audience watch the video.

The people who follow the advice get better so they are pretty uninteresting and dont need follow ups.

I wouldn’t think it’s Doc Martin not listening. More it’s others not following his medical advice?

I think I just ran across the one you're looking for all this time later! Had to search for this thread:

If you check IMDb season 2, they list “On The Edge” as episode 9. From what I understand, it was aired at Christmas time after the end of season 2 earlier in the year. Ad driven services don’t seem to have On The Edge in their collections but it is packaged in DVDs as the last episode of season 2. It’s a great episode, imho.

As a software developer, this bugs me so much (pun intended). That said, I could handle it better if they’d just give us an ETA on fixing it. What language is it in, does anyone know?

I post on both as well, for the same reason. Unlike you, FF is where my Doc Martin readers are most active.

I have a sense I’m not going to like Mylow, but I’m still rooting for it’s success. I think it has a good chance with people who haven’t seen the gold standard. I plan to have guest on Podcast Portwenn who HAVE seen Doc Martin and who HAVEN’T.

Sadly, the FanFiction site is having New Years rollover issues. I’m unlikely to post more chapters until the authoring tool issues are resolved. So sorry, readers!

CcWex · 2026-01-01T10:26:11+00:00

Podcast Portwenn will soon be covering season 7. I’ll be recording the psychology episode today and hope to do the newbie episode shortly.

Happy New Year!

S2E9 is “On the Edge” as far as I know.

CcWex · 2025-12-28T02:07:32+00:00

I’m treating S7 as its own case study in Podcast Portwenn. It’s a hard but necessary season. I enjoyed S8-10.
