Once a successful London surgeon, Dr. Martin Ellingham is now a general practitioner in the idyllic Cornish fishing village of Portwenn, where he is every bit as eccentric as the villagers he serves.

As a hard-charging London surgeon, Martin Ellingham didn't need a bedside manner. His patients were unconscious, so he could be as rude and arrogant as he pleased. All that changes when he develops a crippling fear of blood and is forced to give up surgery. Now a GP in a sleepy, picturesque Cornish fishing village, Doc Martin offends everyone in town, including the one person he wants to impress, beautiful teacher Louisa Glasson. Getting her attention...

Once a successful London surgeon, Dr. Martin Ellingham is now a general practitioner in the idyllic Cornish fishing village of Portwenn, where he is every bit as eccentric as the villagers he serves.

In the sixth series, the doctor tackles fatherhood and his complicated relationship with local teacher Louisa.

This final series sees the Doc making efforts to overcome his phobia and beginning to question whether he made the right decision about resigning. He and Louisa have also welcomed a baby daughter, Mary Elizabeth, a sister to four-year-old James Henry; includes the feature-length finale special.

All is not well for brilliant but boorish Dr. Martin Ellingham as the hit British dramedy returns. To Martin's utter disgust, his medical practice remains under official scrutiny because of his pre-existing blood phobia, and he is forced to attend refresher courses starting with phlebotomy. His wife, Louisa, and aunt Ruth urge him to take this risk to his career seriously, but events conspire against him.
