What's left behind the scenes
- One of the most popular British series on American television.
- The fictional village of Portwenn was filmed in Port Isaac in the county of Cornwall.
- Years sometimes pass between the filming of seasons, yet viewers remain fully convinced that, according to the plot, only a month has passed at most. The only exception was the case with Louisa, who left at the end of season 3 and returned at the beginning of season 4 with a noticeable baby bump.
- The fictional Doctor Martin cannot stand dogs, whereas the actor who plays the role, Martin Clunes, absolutely loves them. He brought a dog to the set every single time.
- The phrase that someone is a bit 'Bodmin' occasionally pops up in the series. Bodmin was the name of a town that once housed an asylum.
- The main character's surname, Ellingham, is an anagram of the series creator's surname, Minghella.
- The main character's entire wardrobe consists of suits and shirts. He can only be seen without a suit right before bed. He even wears a suit on weekends.
- The series was filmed on location in Cornwall, but the sets for the main character's house were built near Port Isaac, where the walls could be moved for filming convenience.
- Port Isaac in Cornwall was filmed to portray the fictional village of Portwenn during the off-season between tourist peaks.
