WHAT can't you miss on TV tonight? Our guide to the must-see shows...

LAST IN SERIES! Doc Martin, 9pm, ITV

She’s back for this series finale as Beth Traywick or ‘The American’, as the locals remember her, who’s investigating her family history.

There’s a long line of Traywicks throughout Cornwall, and she thinks they might hold the key to why she’s been feeling unwell of late. Could she be suffering from a malady known as the ‘Celtic Curse’?

It’s a bit of a shame the character of Beth is only peripheral and largely underused, though, as this episode really centres on whether Martin gets to keep his job at the surgery.

He’s got to sit before an intimidating panel who will decide whether his blood phobia – and the fact that he passed out with a patient in the room – means he’s unfit to work as a GP or if he can continue to practise medicine.

With comic relief from absurd chemist Mrs Tishell and lots of good stuff from recurring guest star Vincent Franklin, it’s tidily plotted with some engaging twists.

The Doc will be missed.
