After another day of chaos in the House Of Commons, fans of Doc Martin have proclaimed the series – which started its ninth season on ITV last night (25.9.19) – to be the perfect show to watch.
The Cornwall-set, cosy drama – starring Martin Clunes and Caroline Katz – was described as ‘just the right antidote’.

Back for a new run of eight episodes, the grumpy Doc’s mood was worsened when a GMC representative arrived to assess him and his surgery.
Meanwhile, having resigned from her job as headmistress at the local school, Louisa is pursuing a new career in child counselling.
The couple are also debating whether to have a second child.
Aside from this, is was business as usual for the Doc in the picturesque coastal village of Portwenn.
And viewers loved it.
Fans took to Twitter to breathe a sigh of relief at its return.
While our democracy is being undermined with all the #brexit nonsense thank goodness for #DocMartin so we can forget about all the worlds problems for an hour
