US Edition‘Doc Martin’s Martin Clunes to Guest on Fox Adaptation ‘Best Medicine’ — Get Details
Martin Clunes reprises a related role in Fox’s remake, playing the main character’s father whose visit reveals secrets that challenge the protagonist’s new life.
- Variety reports Martin Clunes will guest star on Best Medicine, Fox's U.S. remake, as Dr. Robert Best, father of Josh Charles' Dr. Martin Best.
- The series is adapted from All3Media International's Doc Martin format, brought to the U.S. by Propagate Content and produced by Fox Entertainment Studios, which wholly owns Best Medicine with executive producers Ben Silverman, Marc Crowdy, and Philippa Braithwaite.
- The series centers on Martin Best, a brilliant surgeon who leaves Boston to become a small-town GP, using a terse demeanor to mask a phobia and alienate the locals.
- Clunes' involvement connects the original and remake by bringing legacy recognition from his 10-season lead on Doc Martin, while Fox plans to premiere Best Medicine midseason for network visibility.
- Unusually, Clunes will play the protagonist's father despite being only nine years older than Josh Charles, and Dr. Robert Best's estranged visit unsettles Martin and Sarah, Robert's sister played by Annie Potts.
