Ian McNeice of 'Doc Martin' dishes on what could be the show's final season
British TV and film legend Ian McNeice is most well known for the role of "Bert Large” on the long-running series 'Doc Martin', which airs on KCET in Southern California. MEAWW spoke with McNeice and got the inside scoop on whether the upcoming eighth season of the British sitcom would be its last.
"I have heard the rumor of the show ending after this next season. Although we are dreading it, I think we have to start season nine with us thinking that will probably be the case. ITV had a dinner for us two years ago where we thought they were going to tell us it would be the end. But then the head of ITV got up and said they wanted it for two more seasons. But with that, we also assumed that after those two seasons it would likely be the end of the series. I think Martin Clunes would like to see it end on a high so I think it will probably be the final season."
