I suspect that hugh lauries salary for 1 episode of dr house is more that the budget for a series of doc martin.

But I enjoyed both.

You are probably spot on there.

As with all professional entertainment, the earnings of the participants is closely related to the size of the audience.

But also sometimes down to the actor, i am sure Sigourney Weaver didn't get paid much for being in doc martin.

I bet it was more than actors in less popular productions received...

It took me a while to get used to Hugh Laurie’s American accent but enjoyed the show.

Doc Martin is a bit too bumbling for my liking.

‘House’ was much better in my opinion. ‘Doc Martin’ never held my attention.

Both went on too long IMO.

Enjoyed them - in different ways - but felt they were struggling with story development in the later series.

I am not sure. She is a very close friend of Selina Cadell who plays Sally Tishell the pharmacist, they have been friends since drama school and Sigourney often stays with her when she is in the UK. But until doc martin they never had the opertunity to act together before. So I suspect that she only got paid the same as any other bit part actor in the series.

Of course House is paid more - he is a consultant in a prestigious teaching hospital in the USA whereas Martin is a mere GP in a small British fishing village .
