The Man Who Lost His Head

This is a delightful movie Nice to see Martin Clunes as a less buttoned up and a less stern character.

I've said it before, I'll say it again, ITV were making some incredible dramas around this time, nice that they were generally one offs, we opposed to long serials.

Along the same lines as Heartless with Angus Deayton, it's very funny, incredibly moving and one of those stories of escapism that you will lose yourself in.

I genuinely loved it, Martin Clunes truly is at his absolute best here, charismatic, funny, somewhat lovable.

Deserves a repeat. Fabulous, 10/10.

Enjoyed this movie. Love Martin Clunes and he did not disappoint.

Having moved to New Zealand from the UK a couple of decades ago, it was interesting to see what a joint production between the two countries would turn out like. I had heard great things of this and when it was repeated, I taped it to watch later. Having now settled back and enjoyed it I can recommend it whole-heartedly to people who like a good story, a happy ending and maybe just learn a little in the process. True, there were stereotypes, yes maybe it was corny and Martin Clunes is highly visibly with his doctor in Cornwall series, but it was good fun, it did show the world a little bit of NZ, and it was a very enjoyable way to pass a couple of hours. Let's be sensible about this - there's not much on TV now that's worth watching but this is. Loved the scenery, loved the people and loved the story. Good quality stuff doesn't have to be heavy and unpleasant. This is entertainment, not about saving the world and it could have been a lot, lot worse. I don't think it could have been much better.

It was the fact that Doc Martin (Martin Clunes) was in this movie that made us want to see it. He is such a quirky, delightful character actor. Interesting seeing him not so stuffy & dressed up! Not an academy award movie, but well worth watching as the cinematography is beautiful and it's such a feel good movie which you don't see much of these days.
