| SUMMARY |
|
Doctor
Gabriele 'Lele' Martini and his family live in a large
house on the outskirts of Rome, together with his father Libero,
a retired railwayman
and trade union activist, and the live-in maid Cettina.
Widower
Lele is a busy man and has no time for love, until he realises
his sister-in-law, journalist Alice, is the woman of his dreams.
Meanwhile
Lele's children (boy Ciccio, 20-something Maria and little
Annuccia) are always up to something...
Life for many in the Martini family is nothing short of a roller-coaster:
they emigrate to Australia, travel to Africa, get married as pensioners... |

| Kabir's
part |
|
Kabir
has lots of screen time in the series.
Kabir
plays Nonno (Granddad) Kabir Dahvi who opens a restaurant in
Poggio Fiorito.
Nonno Kabir is the uncle of Sarita,
a young female doctor from India, and he is headed for some stormy
romantic
weather
with a
character
called
Cettina, a housekeeper, played by actress Lunetta Savino.
He is also likely to cause confusion among several other females
in the Martini household...
Dr.Emilio, the new lead character (David Sebasti), will fall for
the charms of Kabir's screen
niece Sarita.
Sarita (Shivani Ghai), described as "beautiful, serious, conscientious,
likeable and patient", will open an Ayurvedic medicine center at
the policlinic.
Tgcom.mediaset.it reports that new Nonno Kabir will
be pitted against Lino Banfi, the original Nonno of the series.
Nonno Libero will become the mayor of
Poggio Fiorito and his wife will be a councellor/head of the opposition...
Both
Nonni will initially disagree a lot in the new episodes - but in
the end all will be well and they will even form "a big coalition". |

arrive from Brescia to pay his debts and save him from bankruptcy.
Unwanted and unstoppable, they settle into the Torello household
and even take over his funeral business. Sarita and Emilio
are having a secret affair and manage to convince a young
Indian couple not to have a selective abortion – a
practice that is widespread in India even though it is illegal.
=
Maria is still having serious psychological problems, fails
to submit her doctoral thesis on time, and gives up her medical
studies. Poor Torello is at his northern relatives' beck
and call. They order him around like a simple employee. Without

the funeral company of the Zinco brothers...

own free will. And what is Nonno Kabir buying so secretly
in the pharmacy??? -
Emilio is furious with Sarita because she has stopped him
from clearing the air with his fiancee Alba. He decides against
Sarita. Alberto's father dies of cancer. Cettina organises
the funeral, which turns into a song and dance festival – just
as the dead man had wanted.
=
Tea organises a big party for her daughter's 18th birthday
at restaurant Little India. Using the evening's takings,
Saju and Ciccio invite their girlfriends Miranda and Vanessa
for a romantic weekend. Luz the Brazilian takes a more pragmatic
approach: in order to persuade Mariano to finally name the
day, she offers him no way out and openly organises the wedding.
This nearly gives Mariano's mamma a heart attack! Once more,
it's up to Nonno Libero to calm things down...

(Two hearts and a hide / Love is blind)
A rumour does the rounds that Emilio has been told by his
future father-in-law, who owns the clinic, to cut staff
numbers. Sarita is bitterly disappointed: is her heart of
hearts spying
on the staff? How can she still trust him? Ciccio is annoyed.
There isn't a single place anywhere where he can be alone
with his girlfriend Miranda. The lovers abscond to a remote
hunting lodge – finally they have a place of their
own! But the rest of the family, not least Nonno Libero,
are worried sick about Ciccio's disappearance and do everything
they can to find him.
=
The doctors at the clinic hear that Emilio has fired himself
to solve the staff cut problem. Sarita deeply regrets misreading
his intentions. - At the birthday party of her friend, Maria
rescues their common friend Boris after a cocaine overdose,
and saves his life. Maria regains confidence in her own medical

Un fidanzato di troppo / AAA fidanzato cercasi
(A fiancé too many / Wanted: fiancé)
Sarita has given her 'yes' to Emilio, but now Indian tradition
requires the groom to pay a formal visit to the bride's family
and ask for her hand in marriage. Emilio has found a new
job as an emergency doctor. Emilio and his relatives take
great pains to prepare themselves for the visit to the Dahvi
family. When they all troop into the restaurant, full of
excitement, Nonno Kabir fails to understand the purpose of
their visit. And when Sarita explains, and Emilio makes his
request, there is a nasty surprise for the young couple...
Meanwhile, single mother Maura, the banker whose son is friends
with Oscar's daughter, takes a liking to Oscar. They spend
a lot of time together – to the chagrin of Oscar's
friend Max, who is clearly jealous...
=
Nonno Kabir puts an advert on the Internet in an attempt
to locate Ravi, who has been promised Sarita as a wife when
they were both children. Nonno Kabir won't let go until he
is absolutely sure Ravi no longer wants his promised bride.
Maura falls ever more deeply in love with Oscar. Her advances
force Oscar to come out of the closet and declare he is gay,
living with his friend Max. To celebrate their wedding day,
Nonno Libero has bought Enrica an exorbitantly expensive
face powder. But because of a silly coincidence, Enrica never
gets to hold the precious container – even if it seems
otherwise. Just as she is about to use the powder, Libero
stops her. The powder box in fact is a small urn from undertaker
Torello, with contents... Quelle horreur for Enrica !

doctors and staff? Who will look after the health of Poggio
Fiorito's citizens? Enrica tries to change the owner Serravalle's
mind – but he makes her quite a different offer...

Carole André, Kabir's co-star
in Sandokan/Il Corsaro Nero, plays singer Caterina Morelli,
who has been having a secret
relationship with Nonno Kabir over many years...
=
Faced with the sale of his clinic, Emilio has a wonderful idea:
why not sell it to all the doctors and other staff, and turn
them into businesspeople. Although banker Maura was turned
down by Oscar, she decides to help him and the others raise
the money to buy the clinic. She may be a businesswoman at
heart, but she wears that heart in the right place. Sarita
makes a shocking discovery during a concert by visiting star
Caterina Morelli (Carole André):
Nonno Kabir not only knows the singer, but has even had a
secret relationship with her for many years! And that's not
all – at
Emilio's and Sarita's engagement party, a most unexpected
guest makes his appearance...
=
Torello was planning to bury a pet rabbit called Sigismond
with full funereal honours, but by mistake the creature ends
up
in Melina's
cooking
pot instead. Not to worry, the two decide to use a soft toy
instead. But unfortunately there is a small oversight...
Poggio Fiorito's literature contest, joined by Tea, is won
by the debut of a completely unknown writer. The town is
buzzing with excitement: who is the author calling herself "She
who..."? Ravi is willing to release Sarita from their
planned arranged marriage, but suddenly he is told his grandfather
is dying, in another dramatic twist...

to seduce banker Maura in
an attempt to secure a long-term
loan and rescue the Torello
agency. Just
days before her public graduation ceremony, Maria comes down
with a bad case of the mumps.
Her family try all they can
to help -
Nonno Libero
and Nonna Erica try boycotting the session so that it has to
be repeated and Maria has
another chance. Sarita decides
to pretend
she is happy with her arranged betrothal to Ravi, and do Ravi's

Addii / Tutti i nodi vengono al pettine (last episode)
(Farewells / proverb: Your sins will find you
out)
Carole
André, Kabir's co-star
in Sandokan/Il Corsaro Nero,
is starring as singer Caterina
Morelli in the very last episode,
too.
=
A misunderstanding gets
Enrica so angry that she
wants to
divorce Nonno Libero. But
a bewildered Nonna Enrica
finds
out she never properly
married Nonno Libero – because
of a bureaucratic mixup,
the marriage isn't even
valid! Quelle horreur for
Enrica! - Meanwhile Cettina
has to
admit
her romantic feelings for
Sandokan-lookalike Kabir
were an error of the
heart. She has never stopped
loving her Torello. Although
finally willing to return
to the conjugal home, she
will
face an unwelcome surprise!
Sarita has some serious
problems too – instead
of giving her the document
that releases
her from her arranged betrothal,
Ravi demands money from
Sarita. He says it is to
pay an old
debt of her father's, and
threatens to make her marry
him if she
won't pay...
=
Cettina launches an offensive
against Melina, her shameless
cousin who went behind
her back. Which of the
two rivals
will (re)conquer Torello's
heart?? A broken-hearted
Sarita seems to have no
choice but
to marry her arranged Indian
fiancé. But her
true love, Doctor Emilio,
fins
out that
the man pretending to be
Ravi isn't Ravi at all,
but a fraud
who's after Sarita's money...
Will the chivalrous medic
rescue his doe-eyed Indian
belle from
the clutches of an evil
swindler? How far will
Nonno Kabir's
jaw drop when he finds
out? In the merry chaos
of the
final episode, is there
anyone who
will marry the.... priest?!?!

GENERAL INFORMATION |
• Nonno (Grandpa)
Libero,
played by popular actor Lino Banfi, is the main character
of the series, not the Medico (doctor).
• Housekeeper
Concetta 'Cettina' Gargiulo and her longstanding fiance
Giacinto
keep getting involved
in amorous sidelines, mostly to make one another jealous.
• Of all people, Cettina has had to fall in love with
Torello, a rather excentric funeral director, a brilliantly
comic part
by Francesco Salvi. Torello will make himself heard in Cettina´s
turbulent love life with guest star Kabir in
the fifth series. |

One of the Italian producers of the Medico series said today
that a sixth series will be made to wrap
up all the remaining storylines involving the Martini clan.
It's still not clear
if the main star, Lino Banfi, will be in it.
Like many other
players, Banfi has said on his own blog site that he is
busy working on other projects.
However, the new series
is believed to focus on the couples that featured in yesterday's
instalment - Nonno Libero and Nonna Enrica could make their
wedding official, their current marriage being null and
void because of a clerical error; Alberto and Reby could
continue their relationship; and Sarita and Emilio might
start a family. And last but not least, Nonno 'Sandokan'
Kabir Bedi might just
renew his vows with his great love, Pearl of Labuan Carole
André! Together they could live their lives far from
James Brooke's henchmen... - not on Mompracem but in Italy! |
