What did Martin Clunes say on This Morning today?

Asked why the much-loved medical series was coming to an end after 18 years, Martin explained it is “a good time to end it”.

And while he accepted devotees will wonder why Doc Martin is finishing, the star added writing the scripts is challenging.

Reflecting on how writer and producer Philippa Braithwaite – who is also Martin’s wife – wrangles with them, he added: “You’ve got a main protagonist who doesn’t like anybody and nobody likes him. And then go from there.

“It hasn’t been easy. It is tough and we don’t want to repeat ourselves, you know?”
