\n\tFox<\/a>\u2019s midseason series Best Medicine<\/a> is based on the beloved British show Doc Martin. The show\u2019s latest casting will make the connection even more concrete.<\/p>\n

\n\tMartin Clunes, who played the title character on Doc Martin, has signed on for a guest role in Best Medicine \u2014\u00a0though not as the British doctor he played for 10 seasons spanning almost 20 years. Instead, Clunes will play Dr. Robert Best, the father of lead character Dr. Martin Best (Josh Charles<\/a>). <\/p>\n

\n\tRobert is an accomplished but headstrong gastroenterologist whose demeanor makes Martin\u2019s prickly bedside manner seem warm by comparison. He arrives in the New England town where Martin has moved after giving up his surgical career in Boston and puts everyone on edge, including his estranged sister and Martin\u2019s aunt (Annie Potts). \u201cBut underneath his snobby, stone-cold exterior,\u201d the character descripition reads, \u201cRobert is hiding a few secrets of his own that could turn Martin\u2019s new life upside down, and force him to confront his past.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Best Medicine cast also includes Abigail Spencer<\/a>, Josh Segarra, Cree, Didi Conn, Clea Lewis, Stephen Spinella, Jason Veasey, John DiMaggio, Carter Shimp and Cindy De La Cruz.<\/p>\n

\n\tFox Entertainment studios produces Best Medicine. Liz Tuccillo executive produces with Ben Silverman, Rodney Ferrell and Howard T. Owens of Propagate Content and Doc Martin EPs Marc Crowdy and Philippa Braithwaite. <\/p>\n

\n\tAlong with Doc Martin, Clunes\u2019 credits include the BBC\u2019s Men Behaving Badly, ITV\u2019s Manhunt (which streamed on Acorn TV in the U.S.) and a 2018 miniseries adaptation of Vanity Fair. He\u2019ll next be seen in Emerald Fennell\u2019s Wuthering Heights feature film.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fox\u2019s midseason series Best Medicine is based on the beloved British show Doc Martin.
