00:00What are you doing here?
00:02I'm allowed to tease that, huh?
00:03Doc, these are your parents?
00:05I am their offspring, yes.
00:07Hello, my name is Martin Plunes.
00:08I play Robert Best in Best Medicine.
00:13Doc Martin in the original series
00:15will join us playing Martin's father.
00:18Wow, look at this family moment!
00:21My character's
00:22horrible, mean, blunt,
00:24rude, sounds even smaller
00:26than I remember.
00:27This is ridiculous.
00:29Robert is a doctor himself.
00:30It's Dr. Best. But a more traditional
00:33yeah, fill him full of drugs
00:35doctor. Steroid shot to the scrotum
00:37is gonna relieve the inflammation faster.
00:39Shot in my way? Martin's more thoughtful.
00:41You don't need a shot. I'll send a
00:43prescription to the pharmacy. Robert resents
00:45that, along with a whole load
00:47of other things. He has his own issues.
00:49When did he start doing this?
00:51Why?
00:52He's acting kind of strangely and Martin
00:54is concerned that there's some medical condition
00:56he's not aware of. Robert.
00:58What? Your head. What about my head?
01:00I need to examine you. Don't be ridiculous.
01:03So that's the kind of clash
01:04that we bring in this episode.
01:07Having Martin Clunes is a great bridge
01:08for the lovers of the original show
01:11and I think he's extremely charming
01:12and talented. It's been an absolute
01:15pleasure to work with Josh.
01:16to see him facing the things that I've
01:19faced over my 18 years.
01:21Doors getting slammed in the face.
01:23People disliking you.
01:24From reading the scripts of this American
01:27version and see the name Martin
01:28and have it not relate to me.
01:30It has been completely surreal.
01:33Bring it in. Bring it in.
01:34For a big hug. It's just really good fun
01:36to come and see a TV show
01:38without a drug dealer, drive-by shooting,
01:41a stabbing, a murder, a kidnap.
01:43It is a collection of people
01:45living out their lives in a small community
01:47slightly united in horror
01:49at their new doctor.
01:51You're going against the doctor's orders?
01:53That is medically reckless.
01:55Just childish.
01:57That's how we rolled it.
