On the Edge
Martin Clunes is back for a one-off special as the grumpy big-city GP struggling to fit in with a peaceful Cornish fishing community. Aunt Joan reveals she has a rare bird nesting on her land but wants to keep it a secret to deter prospective egg thieves. So sure enough, her tactless nephew does exactly what she didn't want and opens his mouth to the local baker, who spies an opportunity to save his ailing business by making it a new attraction. Before long the peaceful community of Portwenn is over-run by tourists eager to catch a sight of the bird, and Dr Ellingham finds himself in the locals' bad books yet again. How can he get himself out of this one? Elsewhere, local handyman Bert Large is unwittingly caught up in criminal activity, and his son Al is anxious to prove himself so he can propose to surgery receptionist Pauline. Stephanie Cole, Ian McNeice, Joe Absolom and Caroline Catz co-star in the gentle comedy drama. A new series is promised next yearWatch It
