Thanks for the recommendation, I'll definitely add "Local Hero" to my list. I like Doc Martin.

If I had to think of anything recent that would perhaps have a similar feel it would be "The Detectorists" and (very recent) "Small Prophets" (by the same writer).

Best Medicine is a transplant of Doc Martin into the US (and Clunes played his father in an episode). It was a bit slow to get going but it starts to click a few episodes in.
