Doc Martin viewers all distracted by easy-to-miss joke – but did you spot it? | The Sun
DOC Martin viewers were left in stitches during the latest edition of the programme thanks to a series of hidden jokes.
The ITV series is currently in its tenth series and viewers have been preparing to say goodbye to the iconic Martin Clunes character as it is expected to be the final season of the show.
As ever he was on hand to deal with all the latest medical emergencies in the episode as well as juggled the demands of his hectic and chaotic family life.
The current season has also seen a number of fan favourite returns as Ben Miller and Kenneth Cranham were back as the eccentric Stewart James and Terry Glasson respectively.
However many viewers were quick to pick up on an assortment of names that the patients had at the doctor’s practise – and they came with hilarious results.
Names such as Robin Banks and Gene Simmons, the lead singer of rock band Kiss, were just some of the names used for patients in the latest edition of the comedy show.

Just last week, one patient was called Pam Demmick.
Over the last ten series other hilarious names have been included such as Kay Kole, Scott Chegg, Anita Bush and Dan Gleballs.
After ten seasons, actor Martin Clunes opened up about how he felt making the decision to bring the series to a close.
He thanked the residents of the show’s filming location as he said: "The people of Cornwall, and Port Isaac in particular, have always been so helpful to us when we are making the series.
