List of Doc Martin episodes
Doc Martin is a British television medical comedy drama series starring Martin Clunes in the title role. It was created by Dominic Minghella[1] after the character of Dr Martin Bamford in the 2000 comedy film Saving Grace.[2] The show is set in the fictional seaside village of Portwenn and filmed on location in the village of Port Isaac, Cornwall, England, with most interior scenes shot in a converted local barn.
Doc Martin first aired on ITV on 2 September 2004, with a first series of six episodes. The episode number for the second series increased to eight. This was followed by a TV film and a third series of seven episodes. The next six series aired eight episodes each.
While it had been reported in 2017 that the series would end after Series 9 in 2019, Martin Clunes clarified that it had only been commissioned as far as that year, thereby not ruling out future plans by the broadcaster.[3] Immediately after airing the finale episode of Series 9, ITV issued a terse publicity statement, "Goodbye, Doc! We'll miss you."[4] However, in April 2020, Director Nigel Cole confirmed that there will be a 10th series (See main article on Doc Martin). The final series was postponed to 2022due to covid.[5] ActorIan McNeice (who plays Bert Large) called for a spin-off series starring him when the show ended.Cite error: Closing </ref>
