THE POPULARITY of Doc Martin in Australia has led to a £1,000 donation to Port Isaac RNLI.
Mike Meakins and four colleagues run the Port Isaac branch of Buttermilk Confections and Mr Meakins was approached a year ago by the magazine TV Week Australia who were covering the TV series.
Local RNLI committee chairman Bob Bulgin said
Mr Meakins won permission to reproduce a double page article about Doc Martin as a poster for sale and donated the proceeds to Port Isaac RNLI and Cornwall Air Ambulance.
