There’s plumber Bert (Ian McNeice) and his Daphne de Maurier-quoting son Al (Joe Absolom) who dreams of leaving the village, dim witted police officer Mark (Stewart Wright) who thinks his penis size is stopping him from finding love.
In the first season we meet the local people, most of whom become recurring characters for the next four seasons. Soon we learn that the good doctor has developed a severe case of haemophobia (fear of blood) and his stay in Portwenn is a vacation of sorts, compared to the stress he was going through in London. With his rude demeanor and lack of sympathy for others, Doctor Martin Ellington makes it clear that he’s not there for the love of it, something else must be going on. During most of the first season, the townspeople wonder why someone from the big city would leave behind a top surgeon job to take care of a small village.

It’s been great, a dreamy amount of success and people love it all around the world but it’s just time to complete it,” he added. I don’t think I’ve stood in any place, in any garden I’ve owned for that long.” Martin Clunes ‘too old’ to keep playing Doc Martinĭespite fan calls to keep the series on air, Martin went on to insist that he’s become “too old” to keep playing the beloved character. “I’ve stood outside that surgery, there’s a lot of waiting around when you’re filming and I’ve been gazing out to sea. “I’m going to miss hanging around,” he added. Then the series finishes and then a few weeks later we have our Christmas episode which is an addendum.” “It really builds to a terribly dramatic conclusion, really dramatic. Speaking on Good Morning Britain last week, he said: “I’m not a doctor at the beginning as you saw and Louisa’s taken over my practice, but I don’t think it’s a spoiler to say that I will see patients again later in the series.
