DOC MARTIN CONT... The exterior of the doctor's surgery is a detached cottage up a steep hill overlooking the harbour, and with stunning views out to sea. The Golden Lion, the only actual pub in the village, became the Crab and Lobster in Doc Martin. The interior of the 18th century building was taken over by cast and crew for several days during the shoot. The Old Drug Store, which is now a gift shop, was transformed into the local pharmacy. Ours, the coffee shop in the centre of the village, stayed open all night to keep the cast and crew supplied with cappuccinos and hot chocolates during night shoots. And the Cornish pastie shop next door did a roaring trade during the day.
The village hall was the setting for the Portwenn dance,
and a farm just outside Port Isaac became Aunt Joan's smallholding. A barn
on the outskirts of the village was converted into a studio for some of
the interior scenes. |
