"Doc Martin"

I'd heard about the British comedy "Doc Martin" but had never watched it so checked out the 2 disc DVD Series 1 set from the library.  Martin Clunes plays Doc Martin who is neurotic, socially awkward, and one of the best diagnosticians around.  Doc had a great career as a London surgeon but there was one small problem -- He fainted at the sight of blood!  What to do?  He decides to retire to a small town as their only doctor.  The town is full of quirky characters who seem willing to put up with a doctor who lacks tact.  Some of them even remember him from his childhood visits to his aunt who has a farm outside town.  Although Doc doesn't come across as an eligible bachelor, there does appear to be the hint of a romance in the air when he spots a local school teacher and she spots him shortly after his arrival in town.  I can hardly wait to watch Series 2!
