One of my favourite television shows is Doc Martin. I think I have watched every episode at least twice. Sweden has reruns every evening and I still tend to watch parts of episodes while I am doing other things.
The more I watch, the more I recognise his amusing patient names. Most of them are not immediately obvious, but some of my favourites are:
- Albert Ross (Albatross)
- Alice Cooper and Daryl Hannah (these ones I twigged immediately)
- Ben Twilley and Drew Peacock I will let you guess yourselves…
- Helen Highwater (Hell and High Water)
- Iona Castle (I Own a Castle)
- Noah Cant (No I Can’t)
- Pam Demic (Pandemic)
- Scott Chegg (Scotch Egg)
- Teresa Green (Trees are Green)
- Wendy House
What about Ben Dover?
I missed that one!!!!
…wow. Is it telling that 1. I am autistic and 2. I NEVER noticed the names?! I watched the show a lot over the years and NEVER noticed! (I’m terrible, TERRIBLE with names, faces I’ll remember forever, but names/titles of things are just so so bad for me.) I’m so laughing about Ben Twilley! Do the patient names relate to their diagnoses? I’ll have to watch!
I always laugh at Theresa Green!
