S. Martin Ellingham on the ITV series, bringing his medical services to a sleepy Cornish town after he must leave his post as a top London surgeon when he develops a fear of blood.

Season seven of Doc Martin makes its U. S. Southern California residents can find Doc Martin at 8 p. After that cliffhanger, what can we expect for his emotional stateHes in a bad place at the end of season six. When we meet him, hes really lonely, really sad, but aware that he needs to make a change. With the help of his aunt, hes got enough self awareness to know that he needs some kind of therapy. But hes sort of in denial about that because it doesnt sit well with his beliefs. I start seeing a therapist, who quite soon asks if she can meet Louisa as well. What did you think when you got that script We have to be medically accurate in this country. If youre going to put it on the TV, it has to be correct procedurally. We hired a therapist who was a friend of one of our producers to sit in and have discussions with the writers. She turned out to be a fan of the show. She said, Never mind him getting therapy. What about herWe just knew that Caroline would enjoy playing that. How is it to work with them Its really great. Were kind of slightly maverick. Geographically were a long way away from everything in England. But also, weve been there so long now, weve been through three rounds of administration at ITV since our first audience. They let us get on with it, so weve got the confidence in our cast to let them fly with it. Actors like that Its just great because everyone gets to flourish. Everyone understands what theyre doing there. What my wife and the writers do in the lead up to the series is they make sure that every single character has an arc that will take them through each season. Everything seemed to go right. Its never gone particularly wrong before weve had crises and panics and things, but this season all the scripts were in really good shape. Everybody had lots of stuff you knew they were going to like doing. Having gotten quite serious and emotional in the previous season, we thought it was a good time to sort of revert to being funny again, or funnier, which always cheers a cast up. So thats what we did and weve had really fantastic feedback from people in the States who watch it illegally. Lets talk about those U. S. Do you notice a big difference between your fans in the U. K. Over here, were sort of mainstream primetime TV. Our American fans seem to sort of have to seek us out, because when they write, as much as they tell you how much they enjoy the show, they tell you how they came across it and the discovery. Its like going to a delicatessen and finding something your friends havent tried. They seem to cherish it in that way. Theyre really intelligent, interesting letters that people write about character development and progression, when English fans just kind of say, Can I have a signed photo Thanks. Its really interesting. Theyre so generous, the American fans. They send money to the various charities I support. I tried to raise a little bit of money to send to Nepal and they were straight in with thousands of dollars. Abc Family Wildfire Season 1 Episode 1. They fly over here. We hold a fair every year on our farm for local charities, and for the last two or three years, weve had quite a strong contingent of American Doc Martin fans helping out. Its really nice. Portwenn has become a tourist destination for fans who wish to make a Doc Martin pilgrimage. How do you feel about that I think its fine. These things are always a mixed blessing for the communities there. We didnt make the place famous, as such, because it was a beautiful tourist destination before we turned up. But it was only busy during the season, and now they get people all year round, which is great for anyone with a business. Theres a lot of people who have done really well out of it. Ive heard rumors that this might be the final season. Can you tell me anything about that No. We keep horses. I have to keep working. Well keep going as long as theres an appetite for that. Im never going to get a better job as an actor than this. Im 5. 4, you know Do you ever get a script for an upcoming episode and read some of Docs lines and think, Hes just gone too far. Hes said something too rude this timeNo. Unfortunately if its really rude, Ive generally added it myself I think its funnier, the ruder he is. People tell me they enjoy it when hes rude. Sigourney Weaver showed up this season and I havent been that rude to a patient in years. How do you reconcile your own personal kindness with your characters attitude Does it end up being a type of catharsis Possibly. Its quite liberating having that license. But also, when people say, How come you pretend to hate dogs so much when you really love dogs I say its because I think its quite funny when someone says they hate dogs. I think, How could you not love dogs Theyre great. Thats part of the freakishness of the character, I suppose. We never want to cure him. I guess we just have to investigate and celebrate him. Im so glad you brought up the dogs. Will the dog be in season seven Oh, so much. Hes really good in it and hes such a clever little dog, too. If you had to describe the upcoming season with one adjective, which would you use Improvement. Is that an adjectiveIts about the Doc trying to improve himself and then actually finding hes fantastic anyway. Its about the two of them trying to improve, trying to change, trying to fix things.
