Second thoughts of Doc Martin clip.
My second initial thoughts of the Doc Martin clip is that there is still a high difference between the classes. As the villagers come from a working class background and the Doctor seems to be from a Middle/ Higher class background. During the clip it was shown that the villagers seem to be more entertained by gossip with theirs or other peoples lives, while Doc Martin seems to be more occupied with the incident which happens. The part in the clip which shows this fact is when the sinks pipe bursts. While the sinks pipe is shown to be pouring out a lot of water which floods the floors, the working class villagers are shown to be answering the phone and having conversations about what should be said, the doctor has the main problem with trying to fix the pipe and control the situation by shouting at the villagers what they should be really doing. The reason this shows that the classes are different between these people is that the Doctor shows a more controlled behaviour and keeps his mind focused, this would be because he was bought up with a behaviour and a more careful childhood. The villagers on the other hand come from a working background, so problems will be shown as an everyday activity which soon becomes something small and simple. Another difference is between both the Doctor and the villagers is that the Doctor knows what he has to do in most problems due to the fact that he has an well prepared and educated background, even though the Doctor does not specialise in plumbing, he tried his best to keep the mess to a minimum. The villagers on the other hand show no clue in what to do with a burst pipe, as they become easily distracted and try all the wrong ways to try and fix the pipe.
