The show revolves around a brilliant surgeon from London, Dr. Martin Ellingham (Martin Clunes), who suddenly develops a morbid and crippling aversion to the sight of blood. With his surgical career abruptly halted, Dr. Ellingham takes a position as local GP (or "general practitioner") in the fictional resort town of Portwenn, where he hopes that the slower pace and peaceful surroundings will help him overcome his psychological issues.
What the doctor hasn't counted on is how ill-suited he is to small town life (or possibly just life in general). Martin Ellingham is a true misanthrope: formal, business-like, abrupt to the point of rudeness, utterly uninterested in small talk and certain that he's smarter than everyone around him (which he usually is). He can barely tolerate his neighbors, his patients and every person he encounters on the narrow, winding streets of Portwenn. For their part, the townspeople, most of them characters in their own right, find their new GP insufferable. Nobody expects "Doc Martin", as the locals insist on calling him, to last more than a few weeks.
