I use to love this show and all the characters until Bert tempted an alcoholic with his whiskey. I use to love Bert because he was always dreaming big with his outlandish ideas. His character use to be a nice person who was just trying to make it big. Now I see him as a cutthroat capitalist who will step on anyone to get ahead. Even after he realizes the recovering alcoholic almost died, Bert was excited because he realized his whisky was so potent. He saw a bigger market for the whiskey.
Small British’s villages are thought to be filled with kind people. If I wanted to watch one person exploit another there are plenty of other shows to watch. It is sad to see Doc Martin fall into that category.
