Despite the series getting a slight 'diss' in The Sunday Times last weekend, I thought this episode was excellent. Louisa got her job back at the school and found out more about Martin and Edith's relationship: they were once engaged. Meanwhile it turns out the head of the school is suffering from Porphyria. So now I live in fear of my pee turning blue!

I thought I had to go out tonight, I did, but I managed to make it back in time for the first episode of the new series. I felt a little sad, now that Louisa had gone and I thought for a minute that the 'bright orange haired' surgeon (Edith) was going to be some sort of replacement. How pleased was I to see the return of Louisa in the final scene!

Some residents in Port Isaac are calling for filming to be banned from the village because an influx of tourist visitors is causing traffic chaos in the narrow streets.
"We have had the golden egg from the filming and we have had enough visitors now," said one resident, Ted Charles. "Surely they have enough footage of Port Isaac on file so they don't need to come back?"

The historic fishing village of Port Isaac, on the north Cornwall coast, played the part of Portwenn in Doc Martin. Registered as a fishing village in 1338, Port Isaac has always offered the safest harbour along this part of the coast, a vital refuge from Atlantic storms. But it also provided the perfect backdrop for filming. Its plethora of holiday cottages became temporary homes for the cast and crew, and local people were used as extras.
The Platt, the Cornish name for a market square, is at the heart of the village, by the harbour, and was the location for the lifeboat day gala in the first episode of Doc Martin. The Platt was transformed into a colourful carnival complete with cake stalls, merry go rounds, and a local jazz band. The Old School Hotel and Restaurant was returned to its former purpose, as Portwenn's primary school, where Caroline Catz's character, Louisa Glasson teaches. The old school, built in 1877 closed in 1976.
