Robin Hood - no relation - comes to Dr Matt Berry with a fear of spiders.

The diagnosis seems to be that this may all be down to an unusually potent encounter between an arachnid and a South African grandmother.

A dark, David Lynch-ian comedy, ideally suited for an unsettling and surreal late night listen.

Written by and starring Matt Berry.

Matt plays a corrupt and bizarre hypnotherapist taking unsuspecting clients on twisted, misleading journeys through their subconscious.

Each episode sees the doctor dealing with a different client who has come to him for a different problem.

As the patient is put under hypnosis, we 'enter' their mind, and all the various situations the hypnotherapist takes them through are played out for us to hear.

The result is a dream- (or nightmare-) like trip through the patient's mind, as funny as it is disturbing.
