A return for the Cornwall-based comedy-drama starring Martin Clunes as the medic with a personal life so chaotic it could figure as a metaphor for the NHS itself. With Louisa still taking time out from their marriage, the curmudgeonly doc is considering therapy with Aunt Ruth (Eileen Atkins). However, his plans for self-improvement are thwarted when a local lifeboat training exercise runs into trouble. Meanwhile, Al struggles to get his B&B ready for its first guests.

Martin Clunes & Neil Morrissey reunite for sketch

If you're a child of the nineties your little heart is about to do somersaults - Men Behaving Badly is back in a one off special for this year's Stand Up To Cancer.

Dr Martin Ellingham is brilliant, grumpy, imperious and socially inept as an obstetrician turned GP. These facts make Doc Martin a must-see for those prospective doctors who want to fit in to the medical establishment which, as you know, is filled with imperious, socially inept, grumpy doctors who may, if you're lucky, be brilliant. If you can't bear to watch Martin Clunes being curmudgeonly in Cornwall, you could watch James Robertson Justice as Sir Lancelott Spratt in the Doctor in the House franchise or De Forrest Kelly as Bones in Star Trek to get much the same picture.

Martin Clunes has suggested that next year's series of his bewilderingly long-running ITV comedy-drama Doc Martin will be the last, because the writers have run out of ideas. This won't do, so here are five new plots that should be right in its wheelhouse: 1) Doc Martin pulls a face at a sheep, 2) Doc Martin pulls a face at a cow, 3) Doc Martin thinks he sees a boat in the distance but it's just a rock so he pulls a face, 4) Doc Martin can't find his glasses and then pulls a face when he realises that they've been on top of his head all along, and 5) Doc Martin pulls a face at a goose. You're welcome for the new series, ITV.
