This week, West London GP Dr James Thambyrajah is back to talk to Nik about the award winning comedy on Apple TV+ 'Ted Lasso'. How does a comedy show deal with being lonely at Christmas? Surprisingly well!
There's also the usual look at the health headlines and the week in daytime TV.
James’s song choice:
BoHo Days from ‘tick, tick… BOOM!’ soundtrack
