Dr Berry's latest patient finds himself crowded, and face-to-face with an unusual tattoo.

Dr Berry's latest patient finds himself rather crowded, and face-to-face with an unusual tattoo. Stars Nick Lucas. From 2012.

Dr Berry's latest patient, Christian Parcel, finds himself in the worst place on the planet thanks to some 'experimental hypnotherapy'. 

But events take a twist that even Dr Berry himself finds hard to control, thanks to a football pitch, a nightclub and a very unusual tattoo...

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.

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in January 2012.
