"Doc Martin" with Martin Clunes Fan 
Doc Martin is my favourite show of all times. Yes, I do laugh and yes it has also helped get me through my chemo. I’ve been there twice to meet him and watch the filming flying at great expense from Canada to Port Isaac and looking forward to being able to do it at least once more before the cancer takes over. Thank you Martin Clunes.
Hi Alice, so sorry to hear you have been battling cancer. So many of us have had to face that situation. I wish you all the best in the world, and I hope you will be able to visit Port Isaac again. It is such a fun thing to do.
