Britcoms

We've become fond of British television comedies. We call them: "Britcoms". Our favorite is Doc Martin staring Martin Clunes. I think he may have been the forerunner ofHouse. Martin Clunes stars as Dr. Martin Ellingham, a London surgeon who develops a reaction to blood. He leaves the city to become the general practitioner in a tiny village in Cornwall. Not only does Doc Martin has to deal with culture shock, he is totally lacking in people skills. Whereas House is aware of his lack of people skills and doesn't care, Doc Martin is childishly unaware and surprised at others reaction.

Below is a brief clip. The compleat series is available from Netflix and some episodes are on YouTube.
