Doc Martin review
One last dose of feelgood fun . . . or was it?
Carol Midgley, The Times, 14th November 2019The latest series of this contented yawn of a show comes to an end. Morwenna and Al are getting married but, this being a wedding in a TV drama, inevitably there are a few hitches. Meanwhile, Martin is sidetracked by an emergency when he should be working on his GMC assessment. Never knowingly over-dramatic, always entirely likable.
