The Platt in Portwenn is a flurry with Christmas activities; the stalls are open, the carollers are singing, the Christmas tree twinkling and Al (Joe Absolom) is running a 'Guess The Weight of the Christmas Turkey' competition. As Martin (Martin Clunes) and James (Elliott Blake) wait patiently to see Santa in his Grotto, Martin spots a medical concern that has him shut down the grotto and send Santa packing - until he's sure he isn't infectious. Louisa (Caroline Catz), taking matters into her own hands, is determined not to let Martin ruin Christmas, and goes to see Penhale (John Marquez) about bringing back the Portwenn Festival of Lights. As keen as Penhale is they need to get through the officious Portwenn Parish council officer, Agatha (Emma Amos), first. Meanwhile, things go from bad to worse as Leonard (Ron Cook) decides potential illness won't prevent Santa from delivering the gifts - the traditional way! Mrs. Tishell (Selina Cadell) feels positively Christmassy when she takes the opportunity offered by some mistletoe and Christmas spirit; and Penhale's "12 Days of Christmas" inspired series of gifts doesn't quite go to plan. But does he have a final gesture up his sleeve?
Also includes the celebration special 'Farewell Doc Martin', which goes behind the scenes to reveal the process of making the last instalment of the hugely successful and much-loved series about the UK's favourite grumpy medic
