Martin Clunes: 'Now I'm not scared babies!'

Martin Clunes explains how Doc Martin's turning dad in series five of the hit ITV1 drama.

What's On TV, 9th September 2011

The ratings-gobbling Martin Clunes vehicle is back for a fifth run, following a two-year gap, to reclaim its crown from New Tricks as the nation's favourite TV drama. Clunes stars as miserable medic Dr Martin Ellingham (the surname's an anagram of series creator Dominic Minghella's, trivia fans). As the eight-part run begins, he's struggling to come to terms with new fatherhood and poised to leave picturesque Cornwall to resume his career as a high-flying surgeon in London. Only there's two problems: a personal tragedy and the fact that his replacement as village GP, the newly-qualified Dr Di Dibbs (Joanna Scanlan from The Thick of It), is dangerously incompetent.
