Doc Martin

[Caran]

Really good episode tonight. Kept me on my toes. I felt they went out with a bang for final episode.
Glad it ended as it did.

[Hopkirk]

I tried watching it, but gave up as I thought it was rubbish.

The first series was good, but it has struggled since then I think.

[Caran]

Each to his own Hopkirk. I loved it.

[Hopkirk]

Yep.

I'm looking forward to the next series of Peep Show, but that's not everyone's cup of tea.

[Caran]

I've never seen that. What kind of programme is that?

[tonyav]

Do you recognise these two, Caran.

[Hopkirk]

A sitcom on Channel 4 with David Mitchell and Robert Webb

It's a bit of a cult show, but certainly not everyone's cup of tea.

[Caran]

Right, I don't think it is my cup of tea at all. I'll stick to Doc Martin when we get another series!

[tonyav]

Caran, I visited Port Isaac ( where Doc Martin is filmed ) not so long back while on Hols in Padstow. T'is a lovely place.

[Caran]

We also went there a few years back. Agree a lovely place.

I loved it & love Peep Show. I stayed in Padstow on a job interview nearby, lovely place. We've taken the kids to Port Wenn but it's was in a February so not quite as idyllic.

[Caran]

Yes sher you really need the good weather to properly appreciate the towns.

[tonyav]

I have spent a couple of weeks in Padstow at Christmas / new year a few years ago, it was great.

[Caran]

What was the weather like tonyav. Did it affect your stay?

[tonyav]

Another place on my wish list to visit is Portmeirion Wales where they filmed The Prisoner' ( original with Patrick McGoon ). And it is so much closer to me than Port Isaac in Cornwall.

[tonyav]

The weather was ok, Caran. Not great but ok ( and it was free ). So no it didn't affect our stay.

[Caran]

Been there, many years ago. Fascinating place.

[tonyav]

Yes it is, Caran. I could quite easily live there ( if I had a lottery win ).

[tonyav]

Ah, did you mean Portmeirion, Caran ?.

[Caran]

Yes tonyav. Really interesting place.

[tonyav]

Yes it looks fascinating, Caran.

Sherr, where did you stay in Padstow, if you don't mind me asking.
