Doc Martin star Martin Clunes returns to BBC role in exciting announcement
Fans will be thrilled over the Doc Martin star's return.
www.express.co.ukI can’t access live news directly in this moment, but I can share what’s publicly known about Martin Clunes and the Last Lemur Standing project up to late 2024–early 2025, and point you to how to verify the latest updates.
Direct answer
- There isn’t a widely recognized new release titled “Martin Clunes: Last Lemur Standing” in major outlets after 2012. The known project from that era was a documentary titled "Martin Clunes: Last Lemur Standing" (also referred to as The Lemurs of Madagascar in some materials), produced for ITV by Buffalo Pictures, focusing on lemurs in Madagascar [source material around the early 2010s]. For any “latest news” specifically about this title after 2015, there isn’t a clear, consistently reported new episode or continuation in mainstream British TV coverage.
What to check for the latest
- Major TV outlets and entertainment press: BBC, ITV, Channel 4, The Guardian, The Times, and trade press like Broadcast or Deadline often carry updates on documentary specials and author/producer credits.
- Martin Clunes’ official channels: his agent or production company pages, and his social media or publicist notes, may announce late-stage projects, new specials, or re-editions.
- IMDb and film/TV databases: search for “Martin Clunes Last Lemur Standing” or “The Lemurs of Madagascar” to catch any new entries, air dates, or related projects.
- Buffalo Pictures catalog: as the original producer, their site or press releases would list any re-airings, new cuts, or international sales.
Context and background
- The Lemurs of Madagascar project featured Martin Clunes visiting Madagascar to document lemurs and conservation issues, produced by Buffalo Pictures, with coverage on ITV1 [historical description from production notes and related pages]. This is the core of the Last Lemur Standing concept, tied to Clunes’ broader work on natural history documentaries [historical references to the program].
- Martin Clunes has remained active in various TV projects, including fictional work (e.g., Doc Martin) and other documentary and presenting roles; however, no consistent, widely publicized new season or continuation of Last Lemur Standing has been confirmed in major outlets as of the latest public information around 2024–2025 [biographical and career summaries].
