Portraying Chief Inspector Colin Sutton is a very different role for Martin Clunes from his grumpy, but cozy Doc Martin. The murder mystery, based on real events, is part of the “Manhunt” series.

Residents in Walton-on-Thames were disgruntled because scenes were shot on the anniversary date and at the exact location where 13-year-old Milly Dowler went missing 16 years ago.

Last year, it was reported in The Sun that Series 9 of “Doc Martin” would be filmed in 2018. I’ve got it straight from the horse’s mouth (meaning from Buffalo Pictures) that that information was incorrect. Series 9 will be filmed in 2019, which is Martin Clunes’ normal practice of filming every other year.

This post is a bit offbeat for my blog, but I think it’s important enough to share with as many people as possible. In my real life, I write articles for business publications.  This one is about password management. Who knew we were doing it wrong (upper/lower case, number and special character) for years?  Here’s a formula for creating passwords that can keep hackers away for 550 years.

“Martin Clunes will star as titular character Warren, who is forced to move from the south up to Preston when his partner Anne’s father falls ill. Warren suddenly finds himself living in an area he doesn’t like, doing a job he’s not emotionally cut out for and looking after two teenage stepsons he never wanted.”

“Warren” will air in the UK on BBC One later this year. With Martin’s popularity in “Doc Martin in the States,” it’s expected that streaming services, such as Acorn TV or BritBox, will also make the series available to U.S. audiences.

“Doc Martin” Series 8 will air on Public TV stations later than usual this year. Acorn TV, which owns the streaming rights, explains the reasons for the delay.

“Acorn spokesperson Chad Campbell said longer exclusive streaming periods are becoming the norm for over-the-top platforms. Acorn is a subscription service specializing in British TV, offering on-demand access to many series broadcast on public TV. Its lineup of dramas and mysteries includes Poldark, Foyle’s War, Midsomer Murders and Agatha Christie’s Poirot.

“Everyone in the industry is looking for ways to differentiate themselves, and it’s become common practice to have larger exclusive windows,” Campbell said. “We’re increasing that exclusivity window for some of our signature shows and didn’t plan to make a final decision on a public television window for a few months still.”
