Martin Clunes travels the world to unlock the secrets of man’s partnership with horses in Horsepower, a new documentary series for ITV1.
His fascinating journey takes him from remotest Mongolia to the deserts of Arabia; to see the enigmatic wild Mustangs in Nevada, and watch the thrills and spills of rodeo in Las Vegas.
Martin Clunes embarks on the last stage of his epic journey to search for island paradise in a new ITV1 series, Martin Clunes: Islands of Britain
Martin leaves the cold and windswept islands of the north for the sunny southern havens for the final part of his journey.
The islands along Britain’s southern coast have a warmer climate and more sunshine hours than any other part of the British Isles. They provide an escape from the stresses of mainland, whether it is the tax havens of the Channel Islands, the tranquil retreat of Sark, where the only form of transport is horse and cart, or possibly the most exotic location in the country – the Isles of Scilly.
Martin Clunes has hit out at John Cleese’s after he claimed that British comedy isn’t as good as it used to be.
Last week the Fawlty Towers actor hit out at TV bosses, saying, “They don’t want to pay good writers.”
But Clunes told The Sun: “John Cleese certainly hasn’t made any good comedy since the 80s!”
Martin Clunes is back in Cornwall to film a new series of the ratings winning comedy drama Doc Martin for ITV1.
He returns to play the curmudgeonly Dr Martin Ellingham whose truculent and tactless manner upsets the convivial community of the picture postcard village of Portwenn on the North Cornwall coast.
The last series, which won nine million viewers, ended with a wedding day disaster when the doc and his bride, Louisa, both got cold feet just as they were about to take their vows.
This was awful. I don’t often begin my reviews with such negativity, but truly, as much as I love Martin Clunes in every other role he’s ever had, as Reggie Perrin, I’m afraid I feel he was grave robbing…
Well, maybe not him per se but certainly the commissioning editors at the BBC as well as Simon Nye and David Nobbs – who wrote the adaptation – certainly are; and actually, David Nobbs wrote the original Reggie Perrin series’, so what he was thinking, I can’t imagine!
I guess if you’ve never seen the original, then a) you won’t really get what’s going on and b) you might feel differently, but to remake Reggie was, in my opinion anyway, a big mistake; there can be only one Reggie Perrin and that’s the late, great Leonard Rossiter…
A modern-day update of the classic British sitcom The Fall And Rise Of Reginald Perrin, starring Martin Clunes in the title role, comes to BBC One. He leads an impressive cast including Fay Ripley (Cold Feet), Wendy Craig (Butterflies, The Royal), Geoffrey Whitehead (Worst Week Of My Life), Neil Stuke (Game On) and Lucy Liemann (Moving Wallpaper).
Martin Clunes sets off on a world wide adventure to discover how close the domestic dog is to its ancestor the wild wolf in a fascinating two part documentary, Martin Clunes: A Man and His Dogs.
He takes a wry and witty look at why we are we prepared to take the risk of sharing our homes with dogs who are genetically still 99.8 per cent like wolves.
Martin says: “When I look into the eyes of my own dogs I always find myself wondering the same thing: Where did you come from?
“These two films gave me the chance to embark on a fascinating journey of discovery to trace their ancestry.” Read more & comment »
Martin Clunes is back as the curmudgeonly doctor in a new series of the award winning comedy drama for ITV1, Doc Martin.
Martin returns to the role of Dr Martin Ellingham, the grumpy GP whose truculent and tactless manner upsets the convivial community of Portwenn, a picture postcard village on the North Cornwall coast.
Caroline Catz (Murder in Suburbia, In Denial of Murder, The Vice) plays pretty primary school headmistress Louisa Glasson. Dr Ellingham’s clumsy attempts to woo Louisa have so far failed. But could a breakthrough in their turbulent relationship mean wedding bells for the couple? Read more & comment »
Martin Clunes admits he was dreading having to put his life-saving skills to the test for an episode of the new series of Doc Martin.
Despite having learnt a lot about medical procedures from playing the grumpy Dr Martin Ellingham for the past three years, Martin has never had to resuscitate a patient on screen.
“In this series I had to do my first defibrillation. It was a big day in any TV doctor’s life,” says Martin.
“It was a big and nasty procedure. The defibrillation doesn’t work and the doc has to pound the patient’s chest to save her. Read more & comment »
