How Does That Make You Feel?

Episode 5: Richard Fallon MP

Duration: 15 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 FMLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 LW

In 'How Does that Make You Feel?' we visit a group of people who all share one thing in common, a therapist called Martha and a growing set of neuroses which appear to be overtaking their wholly imperfect lives.

MP Richard Fallon has been held hostage by a constituent for eight hours. The woman claimed Richard was an embarrassment to humanity and called for him to resign. His subsequent attempts to bribe the police to suppress the incident have ended in further opprobrium. And, to top it all off, he's had to take out a bank loan to pay for the removal of his son Toby's Wayne Rooney tattoo.
