SIGOURNEY WEAVER’S appearance in Doc Martin was such an extraordinary cameo that even Martin Clunes himself couldn’t quite believe it was happening. The actress fled Hollywood for a small part in the ITV drama – which is set in Cornwall - earlier this year after a small chance meeting with Martin on The Jonathan Ross Show last year.
Martin, who plays the titular lead in the show, appears on Wossy’s show again this weekend where he reveals it was thanks to Jonathan that Sigourney came to him for a part.

Inquisitr- Why Americans should be watching ‘Doc Martin’
By Amy Feinstein
Excerpt:
Doc Martin, unlike Downton Abbey, might be unfamiliar to American audiences, but it shouldn’t be. The show, now in its seventh season, is a comedic drama in a similar vein as House, but with far more humor. Martin Clunes, the star of the series, is a comedic genius with a deadpan style that causes fans to chuckle throughout.
The Los Angeles Times refers to Clunes in the series ‘Doc Martin’ as beloved, and fans agree, perhaps adding that Dr. Martin Ellingham and all of the citizens of Port Wenn are a wee bit off.
