Time to put the medical bag away

An acclaimed British medical comedy television series, Doc Martin stars Martin Clunes as Doctor Martin Ellingham.

Clunes is an English actor, comedian, director, and television host also known for his role as Gary Strang in Men Behaving Badly

Nine seasons of the Doc Martin series aired between 2004 and 2019. The 10th season airs this December on BritBox.

Martin Clunes is the village doctor with poor patient care skills. Although he sincerely cares about his patients’ health, he despises small chat and is direct with his patients when giving them diagnosis and advice. 

In the 10th season, Doctor Martin is no longer practising as a doctor but looking after four-month-old Mary Elizabeth and James Henry, and Louisa is the one seeing clients out of the surgery. Martin is determined to overcome his blood phobia after questioning his decision to resign.

These eight episodes of Doc Martin are airing on BritBox now:

The final episode is a Christmas special: Portwenn is full of festive cheer – until Doc Martin cancels the Santa, prompting his portrayer to show “Doc the Grinch” the magic of Christmas, with unintended consequences.
