Dr. Martin Ellingham, whose truculent and tactless manner causes mayhem in the small community of Portwenn. The surly doctor continues to negotiate his way around village life. Back to help, and sometimes hinder, are Aunt Joan, Bert and Al Large, the local plumbers, local bobby PC Mark Mylow and Louisa Glasson, who's no clearer about her feelings for him than she was when she first met him!
