I'm OK with Out With Dad and I do watch it now and again, but Martin's role in the whole farce doesn't seem too believable. Sure, it's season 7 and he's grown quite a lot since the beginning of the show, but I still doesn't think he'd agree to play a gay man as readily as he did. I don't even think he'd know how to behave like a gay stereotype, since I think his idea of gay people comes from the '50s (as we see in The Doctor Is Out, he seems to think all gay men are muscly and carry poodles ).
I don't watch The Doctor Is Out at all, because (I'm in the minority here) I really don't like season 11, so I hardly watch any episodes from it. Also, the image of Alistair and Frasier as an actual couple makes me wince for some reason. Plus I didn't like the character of Alistair (wonderfully acted though it was). He's judgmental - "We're expecting" "Can't say I was", he's full of himself and he's even more pretentious and pompous than Frasier.
