This most popular show has built up its high following by laying down a solid foundation of trust between producers and viewers. People trust the producers to stick with certain limits. So what went wrong with this episode?
It seemed to me that the usual production team had taken a break and left the show in the hands of some clueless idiot who just didn't get the point of what Doc Martin is all about.
Between the Doc walking around a party with dead dog wrapped in newspaper and his granny aged aunt with her legs open on a kitchen table having sex with a man young enough to be her grandson, the whole sorry episode threw the 'feel good' factor out of the window in favour of some sort of bizarre attempt at 'shock and revulsion' factor.
I hope whoever is in charge never leaves the shop unattended again.
