Let's make this birthday one to remember.

50 years old (Born on September 29, 1974)

Happy Birthday, Scott Bunce! Another year older and still expertly directing chaos behind the scenes—clearly your greatest talent since Doc Martin. Who else could handle Cornwall's quirkiest villagers with such grace (and minimal eye-rolling)? Your ability to keep calm amidst Portwenn’s comedic madness deserves its own BAFTA.

Here's wishing you a birthday filled with fewer retakes than Bert Large has business schemes—and more laughs than Dr Ellingham has awkward patient encounters. May this next chapter bring even greater successes, memorable moments on set, and plenty of tea breaks in between takes—you've certainly earned them all! Cheers!
