The annual Portwenn Players Dance is a highlight of the village’s social calendar. Louisa invites Martin, but the doctor turns her down. Martin also pays a visit to a park ranger who believes he lives with a six-foot squirrel.

Episode 5:Of All the Harbours in All the Towns

An accident in the local fish-and-chips shop and a nasty skin rash at the school make Martin even crankier. Louisa is up for headmistress, and Martin, as an unwilling governor of the school, must decide if she’s in or out.

A local radio host seems to have a drinking problem but refuses Martin’s help. The doctor does have another patient who welcomes his advice: an old man emitting a horrible stench. To add to his frustrations, Martin’s romantic triangle becomes even more complicated.
