"Doc Martin" fans, rejoice! KCET will be airing Doc Martin from the very beginning in anticipation of the new eighth season coming in 2018. Viewers can relive the Doctor’s special brand of bedside manner from the very beginning when season one, episode one begins on KCET on Thursday, June 1 at 8:00 p.m.

"Doc Martin" is one of KCET’s most beloved comedy dramas that stars Martin Clunes as Martin Ellingham, the small-town doctor whose truculence and tactless manner causes mayhem in a quirky seaside town in Cornwall. Since the beginning, the series has delighted fans with the trials and tribulations of the brash Ellingham, once a celebrated London surgeon who winds up in the sleepy village of Portwenn, replacing their deceased local doctor. But the new physician’s abrasive personality doesn't exactly mesh with the pace of life in Cornwall, as viewers can witness now by watching from the very beginning.

The next new episodes of "Doc Martin" will premiere on KCET in 2018 seven seasons later, picking up with Martin and his wife Louisa confronting the challenges of married life together with their baby James Henry.
