Doc Martin: Series 2

The impeccably suited and socially clueless doctor continues to offend everyone in his sleepy Cornish fishing village, including beautiful Louisa Glasson, the one person he wants to impress. Getting her attention proves even more difficult when Louisa's former flame, suave Danny Steel, returns to Portwenn. You'll laugh out loud at the complications in nine new episodes starring Martin Clunes (Saving Grace, Men Behaving Badly), winner of the British Comedy Award for Best TV Comedy Actor. About 7 ¾ hours on 3 discs

Episode 1: Old Dogs
Martin has a new receptionist and a new problem: Louisa's former love, the suave Danny Steel, has come home to Portwenn. Meanwhile, Martin detects signs of dementia in an elderly patient and learns the shocking reason for a fisherman's long history of injuries.

Episode 2: In Loco
An accident in the local fish-and-chips shop and a nasty skin rash at the school make Martin even crankier. Louisa is up for headmistress, and Martin, as an unwilling governor of the school, must decide if she's in or out.

Episode 3: Blood Is Thicker
Martin treats two brothers for salmonella poisoning, likely caused by the putrid contents of their fridge. But there's something else amiss about this family, which has a bizarre passion for taxidermy-and a mother who hasn't been seen in years.

Episode 4: Aromatherapy
A local radio host seems to have a drinking problem but refuses Martin's help. The doctor does have another patient who welcomes his advice: an old man emitting a horrible stench. To add to his frustrations, Martin's romantic triangle becomes even more complicated.

Episode 5: Always on My Mind
When a village woman dies at home, the husband accuses Martin of murder and takes out his anger on Martin's aunt Joan. The doctor also makes inept attempts to rekindle his friendship with Louisa.

Episode 6: The Family Way
Martin's estranged parents come to Cornwall for an icy reunion with their only son. His father sneers at Martin's small-town status and his mother barely speaks. But as the real reason for their visit comes to light, Martin reveals an unseen side.

Episode 7: Out of the Woods
The local constable asks Martin to be best man at his wedding, but the doctor flatly refuses. The stag weekend in the woods ends up going terribly wrong; however, Louisa is relieved by the outcome.

Episode 8: Erotomania
A Salvation Army worker arrives in Portwenn to trace a missing woman, and the constable's checkup has surprising results that could impact his upcoming nuptials. Danny asks Louisa to move in with him, but she feels ambivalent.

Special Episode: On the Edge
Birdwatchers in search of a rare chough disturb the peace of Portwenn, which lately doesn't seem so tranquil. Martin may lose his receptionist and is told to brush up on his people skills-or else. And Louisa's father arrives unannounced, accompanied by his bipolar friend.
