documentary taking fans of Doc Martin behind the scenes of a show which won the nation’s heart is set to air before the new year. Farewell Doc Martin, an hour-long look behind the curtain of the show, will air on December 29.
Starring Caroline Catz (who plays Louisa in the show), the documentary promises to share some “secrets” about the show’s whopping 18-year run. Doc Martin ran from 2004 until Christmas Day yesterday, in a finale – which we won’t fully spoil – that left fans teary-eyed.
The final episode showed the fictional Cornish village of Portwenn coming together and, in typical TV special fashion, understanding the true meaning of Christmas.

Martin: The end of the last series was massive – so dramatic, so emotional – and then it was fine. So the Christmas episode is really lovely, really cosy, perfect for Christmas Day. That’s if we don’t get bumped for something else…
What will your Christmas Day look like?
A party. Everybody comes to us for Christmas and we have a big party. We’ll have the whole extended family in the house, about 15 people. It’s fantastic, we’ve always taken it seriously.
You don’t share Dr Martin Ellingham’s less enthusiastic view of having fun with people?
I don’t. We’re a big family and we do a lot together. I have some amazing nieces and nephews and brothers and sisters-in-law. We go on holidays together, and I find that lovely. I love being with them

In the run up to my birthday, the idea of being 60 bugged me a bit, but I’d had a bigger wobble around age 57 – the age my father [the actor Alec Clunes] was when he died from cancer. I had various medical tests to reassure myself I wasn’t going to go at the same age, but I’ve passed that milestone now. I’m reconciled to getting older.
Are there benefits to getting older?
Age gives you greater perspective; the younger me didn’t much enjoy having my appearance insulted or being ‘ear-shamed’, for example. Now, I think my ears are rather splendid and I realise they earned me roles I might not otherwise have had.
Is there any connection between hitting 60 and finally ending Doc Martin, given that the last series is due to air this month?
No. It was more that, over a period of 18 years, ten series and 81 hours of TV, we felt we’d really said it all and didn’t want to start repeating ourselves. Each script we produce is a labour of love, especially for Philippa [Braithwaite, his wife], who puts her shoulder in more than any other producer I’ve ever worked with. We didn’t want the show to become tiresome.
