As a great admirer of Mr. Martin Clunes, a frequent effort is made to acquire as much of his published work as possible. For someone living on another continent with different media requirements, current plans include purchasing a free and inexpensive portable DVD player so that all of your UK-released DVDs will work wherever you go.

What’s so good about Martin Clunes? Assuming you are unfamiliar with his work, here are some very basic details about him.

First of all, he is a British comedy actor and entertainer that many people around the world love to watch, especially women; although there may be many men who are also fanatics. The characters he portrays tend to resonate with a part of us that sympathizes with men who are socially inept but have other redemptive qualities. For example, Martin is quite handsome in a kind of Nordic style; quite tall, muscular and with a wonderful voice at the same time rich and deep. Therefore, it is physically attractive to a wide demographic in gender and age, which is quite redemptive and works well in scripts.

Inside Doc Martin lives a sad boy who does not know how to give or receive love; that’s what has been revealed in the plot and in Martin Clunes’s performance as the main character, Dr. Martin Ellingham. There is a need in his portrayal of Doc Martin that is as endearing as it is problematic. That is why the character of Louisa Glasson is attracted to him but repelled. Louisa is in the daily company of young children in her work as a teacher. She does not want an adult relationship with the boy, but is physically attracted to Martin. That is a small snippet of the many well-written conflicts within the story line.

It was the lonely and rather moody Doc Martin who was my first introduction to Martin Clunes. ‘Doc Martin’ is a British television series focusing on the lives of some interesting “local” characters living in the fictional town of Portwenn, and filmed in the actual town of Port Isaac in Cornwall, UK. Doc Martin wants to be respected as a GP, but he’s oblivious to the normal everyday social interactions that other people expect, and he’s used to a higher standard of existence in busy London.

Doc Martin’s character is a lonely laconic who seems willing to store any unmet need in a neat box on a well-dusted shelf. But in everyday life with the people of Portwenn, tranquility is illusory. It’s a fun show to watch and hear the language, see the beauty of the surroundings, and enjoy the various twists and turns of the plot.

After enjoying the ‘Doc Martin’ series my natural curiosity led me to search for more information about Martin Clunes. It was fascinating to discover his work history on various British television series from his first guest-starring role as Lon in a four-part episode of ‘Doctor Who’ called ‘Snakedance’ in 1983. You can find it online.

Mr. Clunes has worked on several successful British television comedy series, including his most famous UK role in the original version of ‘Men Behaving Badly’, where he played Gary Strang. The show ran from 1992 to 1999 and made Martin Clunes a household name in Britain. Gary Strang is your typical irresponsible, uncompromising 30s man who isn’t particularly interested in relationships as much as experimenting with biology, chemistry, beer, and BS.

Martin currently plays Reggie Perrin in a remake of the 1970 British television sitcom ‘The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin.’ The first season was released on DVD in the UK and the second season will be shot in 2010. But fear not Doc Martin fans – a fifth season of ‘Doc Martin’ is scheduled to shoot in 2011.

In addition to his two successful British television comedy series, Martin Clunes has hosted some wonderful documentary shows that have great mass appeal. ‘Martin Clunes: Islands of Britain’ is a three part series where Martin travels to various memorable islands in various parts of the UK. Each episode lasts less than an hour, but captures the rhythm of life in three geographic areas of the British Isles. In the first part, Martin visits the northernmost islands of Great Britain, then travels west in the second part and concludes with the southern islands in the third part.

‘Martin Clunes: A Man and His Dogs’ is a two-part documentary that studies man’s relationship with dogs. Martin travels the world to find the origins of today’s many dog ​​breeds, while learning a lot about his own dogs at the same time.

Martin, known for his love of animals, has completed a third documentary on man’s relationship with horses. In ‘Horsepower’, Martin travels the world to explore the history of man with horses. Riding is a participatory sport for the entire Clunes family and an area of ​​growing interest to Martin as the new president of the Longines Royal International Horse Show in Hickstead.

Martin Clunes is a movie star too! You may remember him as Richard Burbage in the 1998 Academy Award-winning film “Shakespeare in Love”; Or maybe you saw his portrayal of Dr. Martin Bamford in the 2000 comedy film ‘Saving Grace’. He has starred in many television movies such as 1994’s ‘Staggered’ and 1999’s ‘Hunting Venus’, both of which he also directed. By the way, Hunting Venus was Buffalo Productions, Ltd.’s first production to go on to produce the Doc Martin series. Buffalo Productions, Ltd. is owned by Martin and his wife.

Other made-for-television movies (most available on DVD) starring Martin Clunes include ‘Neville’s Island’ and ‘Acid House’ filmed in 1998, ‘Sex’ n ‘Death’ filmed in 1999, ‘Lorna Doone’ and ‘Dirty Tricks’ released in 2000, ‘Global Heresy’, ‘A is for Acid’ and ‘Goodbye, Mr.’ in 2004, ‘Losing It’ in 2006 and ‘The Man Who Lost His Head’ in 2007.

In addition to all the other accomplishments, Martin is a published author. In June 2009 he published ‘A Dog’s Life’ about his passion for dogs and his global journey to learn about the ancestors of today’s dogs. He also writes about problem solving with his own three dogs, Mary, Arthur, and Tina. One review read, “Best known as an actor, he’s also an excellent storyteller, and the book is a lot of fun at times.”

“With his trademark warmth and humor, Martin describes how he met a worldwide cast of doggy characters and how humans have shaped the world of dogs as we know it today. One thing is for sure: he will never see Mary, Tina and Arthur in the same way again. ” It says another propaganda about ‘The life of a dog’.

Yes, it is that “signature warmth and humor” that has made Martin Clunes the unforgettable, powerful and often moving performer that he is today. He has touched many of us in some way, whether through his acting, his documentary appearances, television appearances, or his charity work with The Born Free Foundation, Weldmar Hospicecare Trust, and his own Buckham Fair.

We may never meet the man in person, but there seems to be a lot of Martin’s own personal comedy style in everything he does. There is a warm and gentle character that he carries with him that stands out in his genuine smiles and laughter. There are moments in the movie where he’s himself that makes him seem like a normal and even approachable guy. He gives the impression of being a happily private married family man and that is more attractive than anything else about him.

It’s worth noting that Martin Clunes’ growing body of work is not who he is, but the result of his impressive work ethic, talent, planning, and passionate creative skills combined with his wife’s powerful partnership. We only see glimpses of the real Martin Clunes in his work. Martin and his family are working behind the scenes to build a wonderful life by combining their talents, skills, and interests. We benefit from the results achieved by Buffalo Productions, Ltd and Philippa Braithwaite in association with Martin Clunes. Congratulations to them for many excellent achievements on and off camera.

Not just another pretty face, Martin Clunes is an example of what a man can become and achieve over time in a life well lived, with a well-loved wife. He is still a young man with many questions to answer and many roles to play. And that’s at least the beginning of the great thing about Martin Clunes.
