Martin Clunes is set to make a special appearance on the BBC panel show Have I Got News For You this December. The 63-year-old actor, best known for playing the titular character in Doc Martin, will guest host the final episode of the current 70th series.
This will be Clunes' 22nd appearance on the programme and his 17th turn as guest host, making him one of the show's most familiar faces. Comedian Phil Wang will join him as a guest panellist, marking his 15th time on the show. A second panellist is yet to be confirmed.
The episode will see regular team captains Paul Merton and Ian Hislop dissect the week's news, including the recently announced 2025 budget and other political developments. The show airs on BBC One and BBC iPlayer at 9pm on Friday 12th December.
Clunes is also preparing for a guest role in Best Medicine, a new medical drama inspired by Doc Martin. He will play Dr Robert Best, the on-screen father of the lead character, played by Josh Charles.
