There is another Martin Clunes series you might like. It's called William and Mary. He plays an undertaker and Mary is a midwife. They meet and get romantically involved but their lives are very different and things get difficult. I think it originally aired around 2003/4.

I thought they weren't going to make any more episodes at all. when i finished binge watching the series, i scoured for more info of future seasons. that's what i found and i guess i'll have to wait patiently for the rest of this year and then 2 more after that! lol. arrrggg |

''Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries'', it's a little bit cheeky, a little bit campy with a strong likable cast. All three sessions are on Netflix.

I love Midsomer Murders on Netflix. Great binge show because there are so many episodes. Great British humor, pretty villages. I think you will like it if you enjoyed Doc Martin.

Another vote for Midsomer.........we have only seen a few episodes but liked it. My friend told me just last night that she was watching it on Netflix. |

Midsummer is good.
You might like any of these
North and South - leaving Netflix at the end of the month.
Where Calls the Heart is pretty good. It is WHEN not where, sorry
Heartland seems good, I have only seen a few episodes and the scenery and horses are beautiful
Enjoy!
eta: I hate autocorrect! It is Midsomer.

I love Doc Martin too - another similar type of thing where you really get to know the characters is Stella.
If you're into British detective shows like Midsomer Murders, keep a look out for Morse, Lewis, New Tricks, and George Gently. They are all very different, but if you like one you will probably like the others.

They're filming series 8 now and it will be broadcast here, in the UK, this Autumn. Series 9 will be the last and will be filmed here in March 2018 and broadcast here in Autumn 2018. For what it's worth Doc Martin is not a BBC production and it isn't broadcast by the BBC but by ITV ( Independent Television Channel ). The production company that makes it is run by Martin Clunes' wife. |

So if it's broadcast there in autumn 2018, it will probably be broadcast here at the end of 2018 or early 2019. That's way better than 2020 like I read somewhere. I'm still sad it's ending. |

I would imagine it would be early 2019 maybe for series 9. Are you watching series 7 now? I would take that as your guide. We saw series 7 over here beginning Sept/October last year ( 2016). and series 8 will start first week of September. Yes, it is sad that it's coming to an end. There was talk of them making an American version some time ago but I haven't seen anything about that since. Marta Kauffman ? ( of Friends ? ) had something to do with it. But I don't think it would work in the same way without Martin Clunes. It's him that has made it so appealing and enjoyable IMO. They tried the same thing with Broadchurch and that didn't work. |

Dr. House was a non-nonsense, blunt doctor with the same off puttish bedside manner as Doc Martin but he, too, was brilliant. His Louisa was a fellow doctor. I loved that show too. |
