I think Martin Clunes portrays him brilliantly.....got the Boxset series 1-7 as missed earlier episodes, and will be my winter binge watch as and when. :-)
Visited Portwenn (Port Isaac) earlier this month.
Lovely place - adds to the enjoyment of the programme having seen it. Just about to start series 4 on DVD.
PC Penhale - brilliant comedy actor! I would watch it just for him. He has us in fits every week. A great programme with an excellent cast. Shall miss it!
The bumbling, fumbling, yet compassionate, caring and devoted lawman, PC Penhale, is one of many reasons “Doc Martin” has turned into such a highly popular series in the U.K. and beyond
Talking of PC Penhale (John Marquez) did anyone realise it was him in Porridge on Friday? He looked really different. Don't think I've seen him ever in another role.
