Saving Grace

A British comedy (2000) set in pittoresque Cornwal, mostly in the village of Port Isaac. Coincidentally, this is the same village where, later, also Doc Martin would be filmed. The main character of the series, Martin Clunes, plays the village doctor in 'Saving Grace' as well.

As in the Doc Martin series, Cornish people all seem to be eccentrics, so one wonders whether this is actually true. The story is simple: a recent widow discovers that her late husband left her with lots of debts and tries to save her house by growing marijuana. This leads to a number of predicatable jokes, e.g. most of the village's inhabitants unknowingly getting stoned.

I was not impressed.
