Drama: Doc Martin, ITV, 9pm

After the last episode when Louisa’s ne’er-do-well father showed up unannounce­d, it was probably time for the series’ main couple to have a bit of much needed quality time together. However, things don’t go smoothly when Louisa and Dr Martin (Caroline Catz and Martin Clunes, left) head to London to present his research paper, leaving Janice looking after the children with a bit of input from Penhale. As to be expected, Martin has a few hiccups along the way, including an unexpected propositio­n or two. This is the sixth episode in the 10th and final series of the much-loved Cornwall-based drama, and fans still have two more visits to Portwenn to enjoy before saying goodbye for good.

Elsewhere, Jon Bentley (left) puts two pushchairs to the test, while resident money-saver Harry Wallop shows us how to save cash when purchasing train tickets.
