What is better than one Dr. Best on Fox’s Best Medicine? Two of them. On Tuesday, that is what we are going to get when Martin Clunes, who played the title role in the United Kingdom’s Doc Martin, the show this one is originated from, guest stars as Dr. Martin Best’s (Josh Charles) dad.
When Martin’s parents (Clunes and Judith Ivey) make a surprise visit, Martin suspects that his father, Robert, blindsides his sister Sarah with some infuriating news, is experiencing a serious health condition. Also, while trying to avoid the school’s forthcoming closure during its annual Spirit Week sleepover, Louisa is made acting principal, and Martin and Robert must work together.
If you are not watching Best Medicine, you are missing out on a quirky, small town medical drama with a huge heart.
