CANCELLED! Tenth and final season of ITV's Doc Martin loads on BritBox on 1 December. The curmudgeonly Dr Martin Ellingham questions whether he made the right decision giving up his practice and becomes a nanny to his newborn baby while fixing clocks. Will he be tempted to return to his surgery?

Insights into the past and present:

Doc Martin debuted in 2004 with Martin Clunes playing the title role, a successful surgeon who developed a blood phobia and had to retrain as a GP.

Arriving in the sleepy hamlet of Portwenn in Cornwall, the curmudgeonly doctor with zero interpersonal skills and no bedside manner struggled to fit in - and needed all the allies he could get to negotiate his way around village life, with often hilarious consequences.

A quote from Martin Clunes as the curtain comes down after 18 years:

“I will never get a job as good as this again… just in the sheer joy of it, not being in a city to film it, and being allowed to make something funny in front of a camera, which is my favourite work experience.”
