The Martin Bamford character is friendly and laid-back, seeming to enjoy his retreat from the career pressures and conflicts he left behind in London. He drinks and smokes carelessly, including a mild illegal drug, and has no problem getting his hands and clothes dirty by temporarily working as a lobster and crab fisherman aboard a local boat. The original deal had been to produce two television films per year for three years, but Sky Pictures folded after the first two episodes were made, so Clunes' company tried to sell the franchise to ITV.
The new network felt that the doctor character should be portrayed as a "townie", a fish out of water who is uncomfortable in the countryside. They also wanted something darker, so Clunes suggested that the doctor be curmudgeonly, socially inept, and formal. The new doctor's surname was changed to Ellingham, an anagram of the last name of the new writer, Dominic Minghella, who was brought in to rework the doctor's background and create a new cast of supporting characters. Episodes are just under 50 minutes long, except for the TV film which is 92 minutes.

The programme is available on Netflix. Series are currently available on Amazon Prime Video. Two novels were released to coincide with the sixth series. So is the series the last one? Philippa goes on such a journey to get eight of them [episodes] out. He also reveals a new, important cast member: If it works, it works. So how is the Doc in this series? People are still annoying!
The bailiffs called, so then I went into the whisky distillery. Bert did seem to reach a low at the end of the last series: No house, got bumped by his girlfriend — the love of his life he wanted to marry — but there he is on a cliff-top looking for answers. So basically he starts this series looking for a job. I get such a buzz, because he has a huge twinkle.
