Doc Martin Christmas Special

The grumpy GP has the grotto closed down because Santa has an itch

A treat for fans of the popular drama as Martin Clunes, having seemingly hung up his stethoscope just two months ago, is back just one more time for this festive special. Portwenn is full of yuletide fun, until the grumpy GP has the grotto closed down because Father Christmas has an itch that might be contagious. Leonard, the local Santa in question, becomes determined to show the doc the magic of the season - but he inadvertently upsets young James. It is up to Louisa to save the day. Meanwhile, a delighted Mrs Tishell finds herself under the mistletoe with the doctor, Morwenna becomes attached to Toby the turkey and PC Joe Penhale's attempt to woo Janice backfires
