Alien star Sigourney Weaver to join Martin Clunes in Doc Martin as she lands "massive" role

Martin Clunes has revealed Alien star Sigourney Weaver landed a big role in the new series of Doc Martin after impressing during her previous cameo.

The actress, 67, is a big fan of the ITV drama and appeared in 2015 as Beth Traywick, an American visiting the Cornish seaside town of Portwenn.

Martin, who plays Dr Martin Ellingham, said: “She had a tiny part, and she has got a massive part this time. We liked her so much we asked her back.

“I met her on the Jonathan Ross Show and she said she’d seen every single episode – it’s her favourite show and please could she do one.

“She plays an American tourist trying to retrace her English heritage but she develops a medical condition and then she has a fight with the chemist.

“I am a huge fan of hers. Who isn’t?”

Martin, 55, said the Hollywood star, best known for playing heroine Ellen Ripley in the Alien sci-fi horror films, “really cares about delivering”.

He added: “We’re not a big Hollywood outfit, we are a tiny little thing, and she’s great. She stayed with us in the cottage we rent down there and we just laughed, like we always do.”

Martin also ruled out a return of 90s sitcom Men Behaving Badly, alongside co-star Neil Morrissey. He said: “I think we’d be a bit seedy in our old age.”

The first episode of Doc Martin aired on ITV on Wednesday night.

Nothing is as effective as homeopathy.

I'd rather listen to an hour of Abba than an hour of The Beatles.
