Anyone watching the "new" series?
What do we think?
I am unsure, I am laughing sometimes though.

Nah β I gave it 15 minutes but I have the old ones on DVD and Leonard Rossiter was so definitive that I cannot accept a new Reggie β although I do understand that office politics are outdated in the old one β part of its charm I suppose.
I thought the laughter was canned but saw M Clunes on telly and he said it was in front of a studio audienceβ¦.
Now I normally like Martin Clunes. He was superb in a one off comedy by John Sullivan called βOver Hereβ set in WWII β one of the funniest things I have ever seen and Iβve got it on vid but you just canβt get hold of it on DVD
Good evening btw

I can't make up my mind.
I saw him on GMTV or was it breakfast saying it was infront of a live audience, and was a bit shocked too, I will watch it if I remember, but I can't make up my mind.
As for Mr Clunes he is usually good value, and even though I hate to admit it, I love Doc Martin, although having the delightful ms Catz and Katherine Parkinson? does help

It's actually better than I thought it would be. It's not the original but to be fair it's not trying to be. I'll definitely stick with it next week.
It has something, but I dunno if I like it, will def try and remember to watch next time.
I like Martin Clunes (love Doc Martin) so Iβve got the first two eps skyplussed. Shall let you know what I think once Iβve had the chance to watch them!
I think it`s OK.
Perhaps best not to compare with earlier version.
I didn`t much like Leonard Rossiter`s rather, er, `idiosyncratic`(?) acting style anyway.
I don`t like the audience laughter we are getting in the new series; (it may not be `canned` but it has certainly been tampered with.) Apart from that I am enjoying it.

After reading this thread yesterday, I watched both episodes on the demand thingy on virgin.
I thought it was very funny and shall be watching it this Friday. So thanks for the recommendation!

Is it still being produced by Gareth Gwenlan?
I think it is *super*!
I quite liked it...which surprised me as I thought the original was rubbish!
It didn't work for me.
I could only watch half of the first programme because of the 'enhanced' laughter, it was doing my head in. It's a pity, because I was really looking forward to it, I do like Martin Clunes, and thought he was a good choice for the part.
