Anyone who has either seen "Doc Martin" or been in Cornwall for a while might just have heard the word "bogmon".
Is this word from the Cornish dialect or Language or is it something else please ?.
Attempts at trying Google have got me nowhere.

I speak some but same as Pikey it doesn't ring any bells. Is that the actual spelling or what you believe it is based on hearing the word, what context was it used in?

It was a question raised in an American board, arising from the programme "Doc Martin". Sadly, he didn't quite the episode, so I suspect it could be spelling of what he reckoned it sounded like:-

I've heard it a couple of times ( most recently on the BBC television series "Doc Martin" ) and it is possible that I am misspelling it. The definition above is more a guess based on context; I have no confidence that my spelling or definition is accurate and welcome correction.

You mean Bodmin as in "he'm a bit Bodmin that one"

It is in reference to the mental hospital that used to be in the town of Bodmin and it's purely a fictional phrase made up for the program.

That sounds more likely. Thanks. I'll pass it on.
 
In the series they call the place Port Wen, it was filmed in Port Isaac.
They used Bodmin hospital a few times as well which isn't that far away.
 
From Bodmin Moor, an empty, useless place, fit only for grazing sheep that you do not care if they get lost.
