Widely considered one of the most successful British series in the U.S. and beyond Acorn TV features the DVD and Blu-ray debut of DOC MARTIN, Series 9 on December 10, 2019. Called an “eccentric comedy full of lovable oddball characters” (Los Angeles Times), the series celebrates its 15th anniversary with its newly aired series and bonus disc in a 3-Disc DVD/Blu-ray set! Winner of the British Comedy Award for best comedy drama, this eight-part series previously premiered weekly exclusively on Acorn TV in September 2019. Called a “glorious streaming service… an essential must-have” (The Hollywood Reporter), AMC Networks’ Acorn TV is North America’s most popular and largest streaming service featuring high-quality television from Britain and Beyond.
In Series 9 all is not well for brilliant but blunt Dr. Martin Ellingham (BAFTA winner Martin Clunes, Manhunt). To Martin’s utter disgust, his medical practice remains under official scrutiny because of his pre-existing blood phobia, and he is forced to attend refresher courses starting with phlebotomy. His wife, Louisa (Caroline Catz, DCI Banks) and aunt Ruth (Emmy® winner Dame Eileen Atkins, Cranford) urge him to take this risk to his career seriously, but events conspire against him.
Doc Martin also stars Ian McNeice (The Man Who Invented Christmas) and Joe Absolom (Hatfields & McCoys). Series 9 guest stars include Danny Huston (Yellowstone, American Horror Story, Succession), Conleth Hill (Game of Thrones), Tom Conti (Reuben, Reuben) and the return of Martin Clunes’ Men Behaving Badly co-star Caroline Quentin.

My Thoughts
Doc Martin Series 9 is a great continuation to a fabulous series. Doc Martin is a physician with a phobia of blood. He moves to the little village where his lack of personality makes it hard for him to fit in. The actor who plays Doc Martins is really fabulous. So often he says more with his facial expressions than he does with words--something that takes real talent. This set includes eight new episodes and four bonuses that give us a behind the scenes look at the popular show
To The Lighthouse - An inspector is monitoring Martin after his trial. Louisa wants to impress him, but Martin doesn't like company in the operating room.
The Shock of the New - Martin has to attend refresher courses. Louisa worries about James making friends. Bert's cousin arrives with big plans.
S.W.A.L.K. - Louisa wants to have her study group do a presentation on Martins's birthday. There's a break-in at Ruth's.
Paint it Black - Martins is annoyed by having to see fake patients. Louisa searches for Buddy the dog when he goes missing.
Wild West Country - Penhale investigates the shooting of a camper. When the pub goes up for sale, the Larges' try to figure out who wants to buy it.
Equilibrium - Martin & Louisa look into fertility options. Penhale investigates a string of vandalisms.
