Martin's clumsy attempts to woo her have so far failed. But could a breakthrough in their turbulent relationship mean wedding bells? Aunt Joan (Stephanie Cole) is still trying her best to provide him with emotional support in the face of the villagers' disquiet. But even she despairs at his caustic comments especially when romance blossoms for her with a new man in the village. While son Al (Joe Absalom) travels the world Bert Large (Ian MacNeice) decides it's time to abandon Portwenn's plumbing troubles and pursue a new career - as a restaurateur with disastrous consequences.

So the doctor arranges for her to train as a phlebotomist - but a dangerous addiction threatens to ruin her life. And new to Portwenn this time is PC Joe Penhale (John Marquez) who has ideas way above his station. And agoraphobia. And narcolepsy. Not great for a policeman. So book your appointment with Doc Martin - if you dare. (To be taken in moderation after dinner with a nice cup of tea. Keep out of the reach of anyone with a fragile ego.)
