Mmm, thanks for this, but I am a little wary of websites I don't know after having suffered a massive computer crash. I will keep looking - or maybe I will get the DVDs for Christmas!

Anyone watch the new Doc Martin yet? I found it a bit cheesey but good fun all the same.

I did and I agree. Hopefully it will get better. Martin Clunes is still deliciously grumpy as Doc.

He's brilliant isn't he? Whereas his wife seems to only have one act; flustered and annoyed. I had no idea they were getting married either.

He's recently played a villian in 'Strike Back' but is already dead by episode 3.

I wonder why Netflix don't stream it on the US version as they do on the Cdn version? I have the DVD's, but it would be a bit of a hike for me to lend them to you.

Fingers crossed that Santa is a regular participant on BE.

I was a bit disappointed with it (watched it on my PVR last night), which is a real shame because I was expecting to really enjoy it (I enjoyed past series). I know it is supposed to be quirky/silly but I thought huge parts were just downright bonkers and the plot could have been written by a 10-year-old, nothing particularly cleverly amusing.
