Martin Clunes, by Philippa Braithwaite (aka, Lady Clunes)
I just watched this video, interviewing Philippa (Mrs Clunes, or Lady Clunes as Martin calls her) for Season 6.
It really struck a chord as to one of the reasons writing Doc Martin fan fiction is so hard. In the world of writing, you want to show the readers through description more than you want to tell them. For example, "Martin's brows furrowed, a sharp 11 forming between them, as he looked at Penhale" vs. "Martin looked at Penhale as if the man were an idiot."
Because Martin is such a superior actor, he really does carry off so much of what happens with a look. And each look is subtly different and really hard to describe without seeming strange (at least for me, a novice writer). There is the brow, the eyebrows, the shape of the eyes, whether the mouth is scowling or curled in disgust.
Thoughts?
