Doc Martin

Acorn TV ■ Season Premiere

Martin Clunes steps into the shoes of surly and self-centered Dr. Martin Ellingham with a rude bedside manner and a phobia of blood for the last time as this popular British medical comedy/drama begins its 10th and final season. After stepping down as GP in the town of Portwenn at the end of last season, Doc Martin is beginning to question whether he made the right decision about resigning. With his wife, Louisa (Caroline Catz), pursuing her new career as a child counselor in his old hospital, Doc is left literally holding the baby and indulging his hobby of repairing clocks on the kitchen table. But does he really want his old job back? The first two episodes are available today; one new episode then drops each Monday through the series’s penultimat­e installmen­t on Nov. 28. The final Doc Martin episode, a Christmas-themed entry, will then

be available Dec. 31.
