I am far behind with the rewatch, but I decided to restart with the current one. I’ll rewatch the others later.

This episode is the one I always call the Spooky old bat episode. One of my favourites. My most favourite scene is the kiss on the terrace. Martin looks so sweet and gentle. Every inch a gentleman.

Suffering of asthma myself, I always asked myself questions about the inhaler Martin borrows from the other restaurant guest. In my opinion that poor guy must have had the aspergilosis problem too. Martin gave him the inhaler back, after Dave -contaminated with the fungus – used the inhaler. Looks like a source of spores to me! Bert and Mick got sick, but we don’t see the other one in the surgery. By the way, Martin got pretty exposed to it himself, when he went in the cellar. Must have been the Portwenn effect.

Funny to see that Pauline makes a remark about the AA, but apperently found a newcaddiction, since she could hardly stop with the pacmanlike game when Dave collapsed in the surgery.

Beth is such a lovely person, but Janet also played her role very well.

Loved to watch it again.

This is one of my favorite episodes. I could watch it again and again (and I have). It has Martin and Louisa being more than congenial to each other throughout. It has a suspenseful medical mystery for Martin to solve. And it still has plenty of good one-liners to remind us the show is more than drama.

There is one thing that puzzles me every time I watch it though. How can a couple who have just agreed to marry and have spent the night together act towards each other as if they are almost strangers? Perhaps that is why the wedding is destined to fail. I find myself having to rely on our Fan Fiction writers to fill in the gap between the end of S3E5 and the start of S3E6 and to craft a storyline with more closeness. I do, however, enjoy the scene where M & L walk together to the chemist, after having run into each other in the village. During those moments, they really seem like a natural couple, so perfect for each other. Too bad there are so many issues to resolve before that can happen.

Doc is in good form during his consultation in the surgery with Beth Sawles. He is compassionate, yet frustrated and blunt after Beth keeps citing her sister Janet as an expert for her care.
Doc: “Who’s Janet?”
Beth: “She’s my sister.”
Doc: “Is she an orthopedic specialist?”
Beth: “No, she’s a research scientist, though.”
Doc: “It’s not the same thing, is it?”
After more talking…
Beth: “Janet says…”
Doc: “…far too much!”

Doc’s consultation with Bert and Mick in the surgery after they have been diagnosed with the same illness shows the Doc is always in charge.
Bert: “Dave was the first one who got it. He’s probably infected every woman with a baking tray between here and Bodmin.”
Doc: “Well so far there have only been three cases. Let’s not panic.”
Mick: “Then, why do you look so worried?”
Doc: “Sit up straight!”

One of the most memorable lines, however, as mentioned by another fan, was after Martin confronts Janet in the cellar, finding the “research” she has been doing there:
“Spooky old bat!”

In general it was a sweet episode for Martin and Louisa and looked like it was going to end on a nice romantic note. But, leave it to Martin to replace the romantic with the clinical by presenting Louisa with a gift of Breathe-Rite strips to stop her snoring. Oh, Martin, will you never learn!

Keith Temple wrote only this episode of Doc Martin but continued the storyline very well under the direction of Ben Bolt. Temple writes mostly soap operas — not that there is anything wrong with that 🙂 — so he may have added the slightly more romantic feel to the brief kissing scene on Louisa’s terrace. Beyond this interrupted scene, I agree with Sue about the lack of apparent feeling between Martin and Louisa. Fan fiction writers have done their best to insert the underlying romance many want to believe occurred, but I don’t think the two were particularly close in the three week period preceding their attempted wedding. Recall Louisa’s comment to Edith Montgomery that they had sex on only a few occasions. Not sure if that was because of Martin’s medical emergencies or some hesitancy on both of their parts which ended in the non-wedding.

The US title “The Two of Us,” may be from The Carpenters song “For All We Know,” with the first few lines: “Love, look at the two of us/Strangers in many ways” followed by “Let’s take a lifetime to say/’I knew you well’/For only time will tell us so/And love may grow.”

Martin and Louisa do not know each other well and only may know each other after a lifetime. That is the feel to their relationship in this episode.

The title may also reflect the similarity of Martin and Louisa to the Sawle sisters. Beth, the sweet compliant sister, who once had a suitor, and was liked by all, and Janet, the prickly scientist, who was dismissed from her job, and found solace in her cellar chemistry lab.

Pauline often supplies the back stories on the villagers and added the right hint of intrigue and spine tingling narrative to her description of the sisters Sawle.

Kudos! What a neat way of thniking about it.

That’s not even 10 miutnes well spent!
