He ain't no Johnny Depp

susandennisWhile I am still pretty taken with Hugh Grant, I have a new man in my fictitious life. It's an odd obsession but I can't get enough of Martin Clunes. There is just something about him that I can't get enough of.
I remember seeing his face in the odd movies now and again but when I finally connected him to a name and remembered it was from a little watched (at least over here) British TV series William and Mary.
Now I'm stuck on another series of his Doc Martin. He plays a brilliant and noted surgeon who develops panic attacks at the sight and smell of blood so he's moved to the country and is the GP for a small town.
Even as I describe it, it sounds boring and it should be and Clunes is no pinup or even really attractive but I can't stop watching episodes. I have to watch most of them twice because while my ear can fairly easily understand Hugh, some of the other British accents take a couple of listens before I can get the detail plus the colloquialisms take some thinking through. (I will be very glad when they add subtitles to Netflix streaming.)
Series 1 is on Netflix streaming. Series 2 is on DVD only. Series 3 is now on our PBS channel. It's nice to know there is so much Martin Clunes/Doc Martin in my future.
