The drama had been running since 2004 – with its final season airing on ITV in September 2022.

Earlier in 2022, it was announced that Doc Martin‘s 10th series would be its last.
The show, which launched in 2004, has run for nine seasons with Martin Clunes in the lead role.
In August 2022, Martin appeared on This Morning to discuss the new season.
He also revealed the ‘real’ reason as to why the show was ending, 18 years after it first began.
“There will be people I know watching it, huge fans of the show who are going, ‘But why? We love it, why?'” host Ruth Langsford said.
“It’s just a good time to end it,” Martin replied simply.

The 62-year-old then continued, explaining that writing the scripts was hard work.
“Poor Philippa [Braithwaite], I mean she’s worked on every single script, 84 of them, and none of them are easy,” he said.
“Because you’ve got a main protagonist who doesn’t like anybody and nobody likes him, and then go from there,” he continued.
“It hasn’t been easy, it’s tough and we sort of don’t want to repeat ourselves, you know?” he said.
He then agreed with Ruth when she said that they’re leaving the audience wanting more.
“It is the end of an era,” he later said. “People have loved it, which is all you can ask, really.”
