Regional Identity in the Doc Martin clip

Regional Identity

In the Doc Martin clip there is use of the term regional identity this is because Doc Martin is wearing a smart suit as he is a doctor, this present time doctors wear a certain uniform or there own chosen clothes.There fore Doc Martin comes from the city as mainly people in the city dress in suits. Whereas the plumbers were dressed more casually and had uniform on. The dad was very relaxed as when the sink leaked he did not panic he just sat there finishing his food off. This implies that he from the country  and people from the country side are known for the calmness and relaxed manners. Whereas Doc Martin was very angry and stressed when the sink leaked and the dog came in the house this indicates he is from the city.

When the dog came in to the small house Doc Martin was very frustrated and confused at how the dog managed to get in the house. This is more evidence that he is from the city as dogs do not run freely in the city but in the country side they do because of the spacious land and how there is not huge amounts of crime in the country side. Whereas the plumbers and the young girl who were in the house was not surprised at all by the dog coming in the house therefore they are used to the country life style.

In the clip the younger plumber who was the son of the older plumber was explaining difficult words to the two older characters and understanding what they meant in the sentences. This shows that not all country people are the same they all are not as intelligent as another.

The houses are very small and compact and they are all next to eachother. Some are even built in the town. This is evidence that the region they are in is the country side as in the city the houses are mainly apartments and they are very high in height.

As Doc Martin was walking through the town there was not any traffic or hardly any cars parked or being driven this suggests that country people are more active or that everything is very close and are a walking reach. As well as the noise of sea gulls and the wind being very breezy suggests that they are by the sea side.

In the police office the police man was hoovering the floor this suggests that there is not any crime which indicates that he is in the country side because the country side is very quite, relaxed and mainly crime free.
