Port Isaac was on my list of places to visit while staying in Newquay, but being a fan of the TV series "Doc Martin", I was even more curious to find out what it was like there! Info on Doc Martin, from Wikipedia: Doc Martin is a British television medical comedy drama series starring Martin Clunes in the title role. It was created by Dominic Minghella after the character of Dr Martin Bamford in the 2000 comedy film Saving Grace. The programme is set in the fictional seaside village of Portwenn and filmed on location in the village of Port Isaac, Cornwall, United Kingdom, with most interior scenes shot in a converted local barn. Eight series aired between 2004 and 2017, with a television film airing on Christmas Day in 2006. The eighth and most recent series aired on ITV from September 2017, and streamed in the United States and Canada on Acorn TV. Series 9 began filming in Port Isaac in March 2019. While it was initially reported that the series would end after Series 9, Martin Clunes clarified that it had only been commissioned as far as 2019, thereby not ruling out future plans by the broadcaster. An American TV remake of the series is also being planned
