The medical drama Doc Martin is currently broadcasting new weekly episodes in its tenth and final series. Since first launching back in 2004, the programme has become hugely popular with fans across the globe and many are sure to be disappointed to see the series disappear from our screens.
Throughout the last 18 years, the comedy-drama has been putting a smile on viewers faces but the time has come to close the story. Martin Clunes, who has reprised his role as grumpy GP with a phobia of blood, Martin Ellingham for the final time said "it just felt right for everyone involved" to end on series 10.
So for those wanting to tune in to watch the final series, here are all the details on what night it airs, when it started (so you can catch up on any missed episodes) and how long the series is on for:

When did Doc Martin series 10 start and how long is it on for?
Series 10 of Doc Martin started airing on Wednesday, September 7, so far three episodes have been broadcast with the fourth airing tonight (September 28) on ITV and ITV Hub. The series has eight episodes in total, and the series finale is expected to air on October 26.
It's good news for viewers, as there will be one final visit to Portwenn before the year is out. The Doc's final bid farewell will be in the form of a Christmas special this December.
Speaking about the programme coming to an end, Martin Clunes said: "We would love to come to Cornwall and work here but we can’t do every job down here. It certainly felt, with this many episodes in, coming up with the stories, not just the individual stories but the through lines with the characters across the series and their journeys throughout it, it has just been done now, and I think we would be repeating ourselves. It just closes the circle."
He continued: "I will never get a job as good as this again I know that in terms of what it has done for us personally, but also just in the sheer joy of it, not being in a city to film it, and being allowed to make something funny in front of a camera, which is my favourite work experience.
"To get to do it with this level of input, to have a voice in decisions, and to have it so loved. Nothing of what I am saying could have been predicted when we started."
You can stream all the episodes from Doc Martin series 10 so far over on the ITV Hub.
