Why is Doc Martin coming to an end?
The long-running medical series is coming to an end after 18 years of being on screen. Explaining the reasons for the show's ending, Martin told Rylan Clark and Ruth Langsford on ITV programme This Morning recently: "It's just a good time to end. Poor Philippa, she's worked on every single script, 84 of them and none of them are easy because you've got a main protagonist who doesn't like anybody and nobody likes him and go from there.
