Doc Martin Last Christmas in Portwenn 2022 Written by Jack Lothian, directed by Nigel Cole. It looks like this is the last episode of Doc Martin. I'll miss the series but there are plenty of episodes to re-watch.
It's a hectic week before Christmas in Port Wenn. The Doc shuts down Santa's grotto because the Santa has a contagious rash. Later Santa gets drunk and climbs on the Doc's house. After Santa gets a telling off, the Doc's son James runs away to find the real Santa. He only gets as far as his Aunt Ruth's but he's missing for a while.
Louisa decides to have a lantern parade. There used to be one but it got stopped some time ago. DC Penhale really wants to be Santa so he's down with the parade. The sick Santa calls the Doc for help, he's poked a hole in his leg and the blood is coming quickly. The Doc races to see Santa and crashes his car when he slides off the snow covered road. While in shock he hallucinates his newly dead mother and banishes her to the ether. He saves Santa and they race back to town to celebrate.
Mrs Tishell's neck is healed and she has to deal with removing her neck brace. She gets a hand from Aunt Ruth. Morwenna tells Al they are expecting a baby. DC Joe asks Janice to marry him and, despite all the poultry, she agrees.
All in all a nice way to end the stories of these characters I've been fallowing for 18 years. At it's best it's some of the best TV there's ever been. Even after all these years it still scores a 8.4 on the IMDb. I'll want to start watching them over again at some point.
