"I'm thrilled to be back on the beautiful North Cornish coast to shoot Series 8 of Doc Martin. The doc is as obstinate as ever, but he is trying his best to be a better husband and father," Clunes said in a statement.

Also returning are series regulars Caroline Catz as the title character's wife and local school headmistress, Louisa Ellingham; Eileen Atkins as Doc Martin's formidable Aunt Ruth; villager Ian McNeice as Bert Large; Joe Absolom as Bert's son Al; and John Marquez as police officer Joe Penhale.

The series has already been renewed for a ninth season.
