Доктор Мартин (сериал) Сезон 7

Louisa and Martin decide to make a go of it, starting with a conciliatory dinner but Louisa is concerned when Martin fails to show up. In fact he has been taken prisoner by elderly Annie Winton, who wants him to save her terminally ill husband Jim, despite Jim's more stoical attitude. Louisa and Joe Penhale track him down and the outcome provides a solution to the Ellinghams' marriage problems. There is good news too for Al, as not only have Ruth and Bert decided to go into business to market Bert's whiskey to promote Al's B & B but he also gets a date with receptionist Morwenna.

New art teacher Erica perturbs Louisa with her unorthodox methods and Martin - when she moves in next door to him - though Martin establishes that her fainting fits may play a part in her odd behaviour. Dr Timoney also becomes a patient when she collapses at the wheel of her car and begins to act strangely whilst an American tourist and devoted elderly wife also give Martin problems. Bert returns to being a handyman after his failed whiskey-making venture and Penhale's offer of a career move to Exeter is much affected by his growing relationship with Janice.

Though the therapy sessions are progressing well Martin is annoyed when Louisa's old flame Danny returns to the area, leading a group of city kids on a camping holiday, particularly as Danny seems intent on interfering in the marriage. However, when the most obnoxious child in the party falls ill, it is predictably Martin, not Danny, who saves the day. There are further calamities when Clive Tishell, intent on getting his marriage to Sally back on track, self-medicates with a virility treatment and the entertainer at the Ellinghams' baby's birthday party turns out to be contagious.

After Rachel advises her to take more control Louisa prevents Martin from killing the stray dog that follows him everywhere and takes it to vet Angela Sim at her rescue centre. As Angela's father was Martin's predecessor the pair do not see eye to eye, especially as Angela suggests the dog follows Martin as it recognizes he is lonely, though this proves to be true after Martin has helped Angela through a medical crisis. Elsewhere Ruth is impressed by Bert's home made whiskey and Penhale stages a barbecue to get closer to Janice.

Schoolboy Peter Cronk begins work experience at the surgery. He is enthusiastic and almost as pedantic as Martin himself but he has an ulterior motive for the placement that almost ends in disaster. Sally Tishell's husband Clive reappears after several months' absence, anxious to help her in the chemists though she is less than enthusiastic whilst Bert, hiding out on Ruth's land, attempts to recover the gear from his repossessed restaurant. Martin and Louisa attend a therapy session but it is the shared experience when one of her pupils falls ill that starts to reconcile them.

Following another disaster at his restaurant Bert takes drastic action and disappears, leading Al to contact P.C. Penhale, though he is more interested in courting Louisa's baby-sitter Janice. Martin turns down a request by local radio presenter Melanie to do an interview on healthy eating whilst Louisa is less than impressed by Rachel Timoney's suggestion of a couples interview. However after hearing Martin inadvertently save a life on live radio she could change her mind.

As Martin begins an awkward session with Rachel Timoney, Louisa returns with baby James, causing tongues to wag. She suggests a trial separation to save the marriage and Martin moves into a small flat nearby. Al opens his holiday home and has cause to be grateful to silent partner Ruth for disposing of the mouse which freaks out their first guests, a quarrelling couple who end up having to see Martin. However Ruth has her own health problems and Martin dissuades her from taking a job in London whilst Al's guests get Tasered by Joe Penhale following an argument with Bert over a lobster dinner.

An exasperated Louisa has taken baby James to stay with Eleanor in Spain, hoping for time to think over the future of her marriage. She has only rung Martin once - and to his annoyance the whole village knows. Martin is also concerned for lifeboat captain Steve Barker , whom he believes to have testicular cancer and who is being televised for the lifeboat's centenary. When Steve blacks out and crashes the boat on a deserted cove with Morwenna on board Martin comes to the rescue and discovers that Steve has tried to deceive him in order to keep his position. Finally Martin agrees to see therapist Rachel Timoney to curb his short temper but whilst they are in session Louisa phones.
