The time is nearing to wave goodbye to Dr Martin Ellingham after 18 years with this week’s final episode of the last-ever series…
The Doc’s career prospects changed unexpectedly this year. He’s been headhunted for a prestigious role at Imperial College London. But that means the family leaving their beloved home in picturesque Portwenn…
This week, local chemist Mrs Tishell (Selina Cadell) is determined to stop them leaving and stages a protest, while the family dog, Chicken, does a runner!
But disaster strikes when the Doc and his wife, Louisa (Caroline Catz), retrieve their pet. The Doc is involved in a lifethreatening accident and has to be rushed to hospital.
Emotional
‘It’s a life-or-death emergency,’ says Martin Clunes, who’s played the grumpy medic since 2004. ‘It’s emotional, but very satisfying. For fans of the show, it’s dramatic.’
Will the Doc survive?
