The series being an off-shoot of Heartbeat drew my attention to it, set in the 60s a ficticious hospital set in a sea side location (Elsinby) with some welcome cameo appearances by some of the Heartbeat cast, great storylines and seems to delve a bit deeper than its Heartbeat counterpart. I see this as more of a Heartbeat extension rather than an off-shoot, and could also be considered as an adjunct to the Doc Martin Series (although the later is set in current times).
