Second thoughts on Doc Martin clip.

I think that the Doc Martin clip is a mixed genre type of clip, I think that it tried to have comedy in there by having the water pipe burst and having everyone coming in the room but not really helping, they were all doing their own thing, like someone was on the phone, a woman was just standing there and the man was rabbiting on about useless things. Doc Martin then took control of the situation by telling everyone what to do and it ended him saying to the dog that ran in "and as for you..." which leaves the audience thinking what he could do with the dog. As he says this, some daunting music plays and it makes you think he might be doing something bad to it. The music then turns into a more happy tune as the scene changes and you see that he is just taking it to the police. A woman approaches him and asks for a prescription but he denies her and he takes some details from her. She very briefly mentions that she has a husband when she see's the time but to me it looked like she was flirting with Doc Martin a bit. You find out here that maybe not everyone likes him because when the woman tells him that he is exactly what the town needs, he counteracts this statement by saying that maybe not everyone thinks so. Then I think it kind of moved on into a more story lined section where he saw a girl with an eyepatch and some music played which made you feel as if he knew her. She also looked a bit shy or guilty and he looked really intrigued. He then was called upon by a lady who needed his help and kept on piling him up with vegetables and I think they tried to aim at maybe a bit of comedy there too by having more and more being pilled onto him. While this is happening they are having  a conversation and you find out from Doc Martin that he is maybe a bit of a grumpy person as his responses are usually negative. I have never seen Doc Martin before but from the 5 minute clip I feel that it is some sort of detective programme with funny moments. I think that the target audience for this show is people maybe over the age of 20 because, as a teenager, I didn't enjoy it that much.
