TV Q&A: What's up with 'Doc Martin'?

Q: I thought this year would feature a season finale for "Doc Martin." Can you tell me what is happening with the show?

A: I get a lot of questions about this show, which operates on one of those British we'll-make-more-when-we're-ready schedules. Recent reports indicate there will be two more seasons. An eighth will air overseas later this year before coming to the U.S. airwaves. A ninth season will air in the U.K. in 2019 and here in 2020.

Q: I have watched "Grey's Anatomy" from the beginning. In all the operating-room scenes, the scrub nurse is a constant. Is she a technical adviser or someone special to the cast?

A: That role, of nurse Bokhee, is played by a woman also named Bokhee. Former "Grey's" co-star Sandra Oh pointed out that Bokhee has also been a surgical nurse in real life. Added Oh: "She's like my second mom; she's the best."

Q: How did the song for the 1950s sitcom "I Married Joan" go?

A: "I Married Joan" originally aired from 1952 to 1955 and starred Jim Backus and Joan Davis. You can find old episodes on YouTube, which is how I gathered these song lyrics: "I married Joan/What a girl, what a whirl, what a life./Oh, I married Joan/What a mind, love is blind, what a wife./Giddy and gay, all day she keeps my heart laughin'/Never know where her brain has flown./To each his own/Can't deny that's why I married Joan."

Q: Could you please tell me who the new KFC Col. Sanders is?

Q: I've been watching reruns of the series "Wiseguy." When was it on, and where is star Ken Wahl now?

A: "Wiseguy" aired on CBS from 1987 to 1990. Wahl, now 62, played Vinnie Terranova, an undercover fed pretending to be a mobster. Jonathan Banks, more recently seen on "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul," was Vinnie's handler. The show was also known for its narrative arcs — stories continued over several episodes — and for its casting, including a then-little-known Kevin Spacey as a villain.

Wahl had a reputation for being difficult and left the show before its final season. Wahl suffered a broken neck and severe spinal injury in 1992 following a fall down a flight of stairs after "a romantic dalliance." The injuries cut his acting career short.
