I only watch a handful of British programs but between Doc Martin and Midsomer Murders I'd say there's a lot of crazy people in the far-off towns of UK. Basically, this episode is about rumors and the way they spread like disease. Dave the postman sees the Doc coming out of Louisa's house early in the morning and spread the news all over town. By midday, the whole of Portwenn knew they are engaged. But apart from spreading news, Dave was also inadvertently spreading bronchial fungus. In this show, usually, particularly cooky rumors are just exaggerations of the truth. However, Pauline's seemingly outrageous tale about a disgraced scientist proved to be pretty close to the truth.
I've also noticed that in series 3, the Doc has been saying 'Yes' to everything Louisa says. It's kind of uncharacteristic but I guess that's his version of being head-over-heels in love.
