    Yes, I read that today on a DA site. There was a statement that "Julian Fellowes has written another brillant character in Martha Levinson (Shirley MacLaine) who will be a wonderful combatant for Maggie Smith's Dowager Countess.". . . As caustic as Shirley MacLaine can be, she is no match for Maggie Smith. I think what their thinking is to bring in more of an American audience to view this series as well as buy the dvds $$$$. I hope BP takes note. While I don't particularly want any American actors to invade this series, maybe some actors need to come on board in S6 in a more combatant role towards DM or LG.

    Wow, that's a good idea marchrand! I don't remember any American actors being on the Series at all! That sounds verrry interesting! :)
    P.S. I wouldn't want to go up against Shirley MacLaine! :eek:

    Thank you, madmother, for this long awaited news! I really enjoyed all the photos and videos the fans posted who visited Port Isaac during the filming of S5 from April through July, 2011 and then seeing S5 here. Just think in about 14 months from now they will be back to PI to film S6!

    You know, I think if we all end up in Port Isaac in 2013...we could have a seriously good time. We're a rare breed, but it's the die-hards like us that have the most fun. :cool:

    ...but for now, I've got some serious FF writing to catch up on. :)

    Boy, I already want to book a Port Isaac B&B. This is great news! I really plan crossing the pond for this, too!

    YAY!!! Another series! Wonderful.

    I hope I can save and plan a trip to Port Isaac and watch the filming. Wouldn't it be great for a bunch of fans to get together out there. How wishful is that! LOL

    Will be so looking forward to some more Doc Martin episodes.
    Excited!!
    :D

    Going to Cornwall to see DM being filmed would be fun. But I think meeting other DM fanatics would be even more fun!

    Fantastic news. Now what are they going to get up to in the next series, it is always fun to speculate, hopefully, all the usual cast will be back again, but you never know!!

    Woohoo! I sent a message to ITV too and received a reply within 30 minutes! They
    said:

    "We have plans for a further series but at the moment we do not hold any schedule information".

    It's really, really REAL!!!

    Robspace, I think you would make a great organizer of the Doc Martin fanclub meetup in PI. I can envision a week of fun and activities! Seriously!!!

    We clearly need some kind of convention, a la Star Trek. I can testify that it's fun to meet other fans -- we're a nice bunch!:D

    I imagine Port Isaac B and B proprietors are getting a flood of reservations right about now... I also will certainly try to go!

    I remember a lot of speculation in late 2010 and early 2011, before they started filming. I think this time we should keep track of the speculation and have a kind of prize -- perhaps a 2014 Doc Martin (or Martin Clunes) calendar -- for whoever gets the closest to say, the time elapsed between S5 and S6, or what happens to Mrs. T., or how many episodes it takes before DM and LG actually marry, etc., etc.

    But guessing (for a prize) probably should stop when the first casting calls go out, because they tell us a lot, like the age James Henry will be, e.g.
