Doc Martin readies final season

The final season of Doc Martin, starring Martin Clunes, will premiere in the UK next week, with a trailer and synopsis giving first hints of what’s ahead.

At the end of the last series the Doc decided, after having his medical career scrutinised by the General Medical Council because of his blood phobia, that he would resign from being Portwenn’s GP.

This final series sees the Doc making efforts to overcome his phobia and beginning to question whether he made the right decision about resigning – he and Louisa have also welcomed a baby daughter, Mary Elizabeth, who is a sister for four-year-old James Henry.

A date for Australia is yet to be confirmed.
