"The Portwenn Effect" - Season 01, Episode 04

- by Karen Haviley

PC Mylow has a date and feels he needs to be ‘better prepared’ for the possible evening events so he visits the Doc for some advice on the male-enhancement ‘meds’ he’s ordered via post. The Doc is thrown off his game when he finds out PC Mylow’s date is none other than Louisa. It’s all a big misunderstanding... or is it?

No time to think about that. The Doc needs to make a house call to the local ranger with whom he seems to make a connection -- if it weren't for the invisible giant squirrel that lives with the ranger, of course.

At the end of the day, Portwenn has made an impression on the Doc. This time in a good way!


Grab yourself a listen to Episode 4 -
The Portwenn Effect....

"Sh*t Happens" - Season 01, Episode 03


- by Karen Haviley

The Doc makes a few mistakes that has the Portwennians ready to pack him up and ship him out. The town has a "case of the lurky" so between scaring a couple dozen kids out of the pool, going on the radio to tell the town to stop drinking Portwenn tap water  -- all before actually having the water tested, mind you -- and lending an ear to a frustrated Bert, the Doc can't catch a break.

All is not lost, however, as the Doc and Luisa go out on their first date. Well.. sort of.


Enjoy the appropriately named Episode 3 -
Sh*t Happens....

"Gentlemen Prefer" - Season 01, Episode 02


- by Karen Haviley

In Episode 2 we find the Doc settling in to his surgery... and getting used to his receptionist...and his patients. Easier said than done.

Elaine gets sacked (no surprise but what a mistake!), the dog won't leave him alone and the people of Portwenn have turned the surgery into a cafĂ©. And we finally get to see our favorite Doc's phobia in action (in all its disgusting detail)!
As much as he would like to leave behind this obnoxiously quaint little town... there's always Louisa.

Join us for a few laughs and take a listen to Gentlemen Prefer...
