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 Clunes.
00:08I play Robert Best in Best Medicine.
00:14Doc Martin in the original series
00:15will join us playing Martin's father.
00:18Wow, look at this family moment.
00:21My character's horrible.
00:23Mean, blunt, rude.
00:25I was even smaller than I remember.
00:27This is ridiculous.
00:28Robert is a doctor himself.
00:30It's Dr. Best.
00:32But a more traditional...
00:33Yeah.
00:34Fill him full of drugs, doctor.
00:35Steroid shot to the scrotum's gonna relieve the inflammation faster.
00:39Shot in my wear?
00:40Martin's more thoughtful.
00:41You don't need a shot. I'll send a prescription to the pharmacy.
00:44Robert resents that, along with a whole load of other things.
00:48He has his own issues.
00:49When did he start doing this?
00:51Why?
00:52He's acting kind of strangely,
00:54and Martin is concerned that there's some medical condition he's not aware of.
00:57Robert.
00:58What?
00:59Your head.
00:59What about my head?
01:00I need to examine you.
01:02Don't be ridiculous.
01:03So that's the kind of clash that we bring in this episode.
01:07Having Martin Clunes is a great bridge for the lovers of the original show,
01:11and I think he's extremely charming and talented.
01:13It's been an absolute pleasure to work with Josh,
01:17to see him facing the things that I faced over my 18 years.
01:21Doors getting slammed in your face.
01:23People disliking you.
01:25From reading the scripts of this American version,
01:27and see the name Martin, and have it not relate to me,
01:30it has been completely surreal.
01:33Bring it in.
01:33Bring it in?
01:34For a big hug?
01:35It's just really good fun to come and see a TV show without a drug dealer,
01:40a drive-by shooting, a stabbing, a murder, a kidnap.
01:43It is a collection of people living out their lives in a small community,
01:47slightly united in horror at their new doctor.
01:51You're going against the doctor's orders?
01:52Yeah!
01:54That is medically reckless.
01:55Just childish.
01:56That's how we rolled it.
