Over Clunes’ shoulder are two photographs of dogs. Their upcoming projects include a drama about the “county lines” drug-dealing business on the Welsh border (with the team that made “Manhunt,” in which Clunes plays real-life Detective Chief Inspector Colin Sutton) and a documentary on a guide dogs charity. “I don’t think any one producer has procured quite so many hours of television on her own as she has, and kept her standards up,” he added. Braithwaite has overseen “Doc Martin” from the beginning, which Clunes calls “a testament to my wife’s genius.” They just move me, the very shape of them.”Ĭlunes spoke with The Times from said farm, where he lives (among cattle, sheep, chickens, cats and dogs) with his wife and producer, Philippa Braithwaite. “It was five days of solid Clydesdalery, and there were moments I was in floods of tears. “We just had the World Clydesdale Show in Aberdeen for the first time in the U.K., and I was involved in it,” says Clunes, who has two on his Dorset farm and is also president of the British Horse Society.

(To imagine him laughing at any moment in the conversation below would not be far off.) Viewers may be familiar with that friendly person from the numerous documentaries he’s made, including series on the islands of Britain, America, Australia and the Pacific (when we spoke recently he was about to leave for Guam and Palau, having just returned from the Philippines), and on animals, including lions, lemurs, manta rays, dogs and horses. In contrast to his character, Clunes is warm and jovial he laughs easily and often. He is nevertheless a sort of medical superhero, sympathetic, even lovable, if in a highly frustrating way, and a partner in an unconventional romance, then marriage, with local schoolteacher (later therapist) Louisa, divinely played by Caroline Catz. Martin Ellingham - a talented surgeon who acquires an aversion to blood and relocates as a GP to the eccentric seaside village in Cornwall where he spent summers in his youth - is a tight sort of person, uninterested in humor and reasonable to a fault, in that he finds fault with anyone incapable of reason. The series finale premiered in late November, but there is a Christmas episode coming Dec. as the star of the globally popular British import “ Doc Martin,” which streams on Acorn TV, he is hanging up that shingle after 10 seasons stretched over 18 years.
If one ever needed proof that actors are not the people they play, Martin Clunes is the pudding.
