Abstract: You have questions. I have some answers. I have a question about the "Doc Martin" and "Best Medicine" shows: Why? They live in the same named place, both have romantic feelings for Louisa, and have a pharmacist who wears a cervical collar. Both doctors are clumsy and don't like dogs. Is there a reason for Fox copying "Doc Martin"? I would always welcome a new doctor show, but not a rip-off of a British one. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
