DOC MARTIN Receives Premieres in Asia and the Middle East

Doc Martin is one of the UK's highest rating drama series which consistently achieves in excess of 10 million viewers. It has been a success for ITV in the UK ever since its launch in 2004.

Each episode of the much-loved show follows Doc Martin, played by Martin Clunes (Reggie Perrin, Men Behaving Badly), as he turns his back on life as a celebrated 'big city' surgeon and moves to a sleepy seaside village to become the local doctor.

Despite his surgical brilliance (and a phobia to blood) Doc Martin has few interpersonal skills and his bedside manner soon starts to upset his new patients. To make matters worse he inherits the world's most incompetent receptionist.

The community is united in horror at their grumpy new doctor and Doc Martin soon finds he needs all the allies he can get as he tries to negotiate his way around village life with hilarious consequences.

Doc Martin will air from Series 3 on ITV Granada, starting 26th June 2012.
