The One Show presenter Roman Kemp issued an apology after a guest swore live on air.
The programme returned on Thursday, June 25, with Roman joining Alex Jones on the sofa.
They welcomed guests Kate Humble, Ben Fogle and Martin Clunes to the show, before it was thrown into chaos.
The Doc Martin star had been talking about the US version of the beloved programme emerging, starring Josh Charles in the leading role.
As a preview clip of it aired, Martin was asked about Josh’s spin on playing the grumpy doctor.
He replied: “He’s completely done his own thing, much nicer than me, less awkward and abrasive… he’s warm and better-looking.”

Martin then responded to a moment he just saw from the preview, adding: “I was just looking at that bit… they wouldn’t let me call the dog the son of a b***h, which I thought was funny.”
As the studio erupted into laughter, Roman rushed to apologise, saying: “I have to apologise quickly.”
Alex jokingly chastised Martin, adding: “You’ve been on a hundred times!”
Martin then turned to Ben, arguing: “He’s a vet… it’s a female dog!”

Continuing about the programme, Martin went on to address the future of the show, saying: “They’re going again, they’re doing another series.”
The Good Wife actor Josh will be starring in Best Medicine, with Sky previously teasing: “A US remake of UK television favourite Doc Martin, Best Medicine is a heartwarming new comedy-drama about a physician who moves to a small coastal town in the hopes of a quiet life.
“Dr Martin Best packs up his surgical career in Boston, Massachusetts and heads to start a new life as a physician in the coastal fishing town of Port Wenn in Maine. His aunt, a local lobster merchant, is nearby, and his new private practice is perfect for a simple life. Or so he thinks.

“Soon he’s introduced to Port Wenn’s community, filled with quirky but loving characters with no end of ailments for him to figure out and diagnose. However, as someone who is quite introverted and likes to keep himself to himself, he struggles with the adjustment.
“He’s also got a huge blood phobia – which doesn’t help his abilities as a doctor who may need to tend to wounds from time to time.
“But behind his brusque attitude and no-nonsense approach to a bedside manner, Dr Martin hides his own personal pain that he is hiding from the world which explains why he is the way he is. Will this little town bring him out of his shell?”
The One Show airs weeknights from 7pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
