Iona Castle and Kay Cole — the patients who made Doc chuckle
THE final series of Doc Martin started this week. It’s been bringing its fans quirky joy since 2004 — and the cast have been amusing themselves for nearly as long, thanks to the comically named patients who pass through the surgery.
Over the years, Dr Ellingham has ordered Iona Castle, Onnah Todd, Germain Mann and Kay Cole to ‘Come through!’.
Sadly, the receptionist’s book in which all the names are recorded has gone missing. Lead actor Martin Clunes, who plays Dr Ellingham, said: ‘I was looking for it the other day, towards the end of filming, and couldn’t find it.’
Jessica Ransom, who plays doctor’s receptionist Morwenna, believes someone may have carted if off as a souvenir. ‘It was on the reception desk, on the last day of filming, but I haven’t seen it since.’
