Doc Martin Season 9 Recap:
The General Medical Council was investigating Martin in the previous series. In the episode’s conclusion, surgeon Bernard Newton (Tom Conti) arrives in Portwenn to assess the doctor and his practice. He dreaded returning home and informing his wife Louisa (Caroline Catz) of his resignation. When he arrived at the house, she informed him of even more exciting news: Louisa is expecting a child.
After then, Series 9 came to a close, leaving viewers with even more unanswered questions than before. Fortunately, it appears that Season 10 will provide a plethora of answers, so keep an eye out.
Is ‘Doc Martin Season 10’ finale of the series?
The production team has finally decided it’s time to close this successful drama. This season will be returned for the last time.
Actor Martin Clunes and his real wife Philippa Braithwaite have disclosed why they’ve felt that is the time for this series to finish.
They have enjoyed producing the Doc Martin series. When they debuted the series in 2004 They never have thought how much fans would love the grumpy Doc. The series has enthusiastic followers all over the world and they are happy that Doc Martin has always been in the number one position.
In a joint statement with writer Philippa Braithwaite on September 7, the actor remarked, “We have adored making nine seasons of Doc Martin.” We could never have predicted how much our dedicated viewers would love the grumpy Doc when we first debuted the series in 2004.
The series has a devoted following in the United Kingdom and around the world, and we are delighted that Doc Martin has consistently topped the ratings.

Doc Martin Season 10 Plot: What will happen next?
The TV show examines the life and activities of the self-christened protagonist Dr. Martin, a medical doctor, specifically a vascular surgeon. He developed a fear of blood, which forces him to become a general practitioner. He moved to the sleepy town of Portwenn. The locals refer to him as Doc Martin, an indispensable part of the community, and bombard him with naive and sometimes stupid questions, even though his brash behavior annoys them. Dr. Martin is married to Louisa, a headmistress, and together they have a son, James. They live in their home with a dog, Buddy.
Last season ended on a cliff-hanger, where Doc Martin undergoes the final test in Assisted Surgery for General Medical Council. Also, the wedding bells are ringing in the town, Morwenna and Al are getting married; hopefully, no surprises spring up.
