'Port Wen' is actually the fictional village where the tv series Doc Martin is set, but there is a real village, Port Isaac, where the programmes are filmed.
It is Wilson's dream to turn up during filming, be spotted by the Director and offered a starring role, possibly as Doc Martin's Locum but failing that as a holiday maker with an exotic disease. Or food poisoning.
However his real aim is to meet the co-star of the show, Caroline Katz — he hopes to take a couple of selfies with her before proposing marriage.
A major flaw with this plan is that Ms Katz is already happily married. Also she is quite a lot older than Wilson, but he won't hear a word spoken against his scheme, although I fear it will end in tears...
Driving back to the hotel we heard a News Bulletin reporting that there is an escaped lion at large in Cornwall. Wilson immediately activated the car's Central Locking and began staring nervously out the windows.
I shall have to think of something good and reassuring before we get back!
