I adore Martin Clunes from his early Men Behaving Badly to William and Mary and then Doc Martin. Yes he looks kind of like an overgrown spoilt five year old, but its Martin Clunes. He's an amazingly versatile actor, his voice is dreamy to me, and I love how this character baffles you with its snarky crankiness and at the same time you want to cuddle him like a weird lonely child. I defy mostly anyone not to become addicted to this show. It's for the most part clean adventurous fun. The writing is first rate and all the actors/characters in the show are lovely.
