BBC Radio 4 - 15 Minute Drama, How Does That Make You Feel?, Episode 1

Therapist Martha braces herself for the arrival of a distraught Richard Fallon MP.

Having become an unwilling viral celebrity, Richard Fallon MP has hired a new PR person named Genevieve and has developed a crush on her.

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.

A video clip of Richard Fallon MP sitting on and killing a Jack Russell Terrier has gone viral. People are barking at him in the street. So he's hired a new PR person named Genevieve and has developed a crush on her, even though she's a terrible bully, shouts at him, and has put him on a diet where he can only eat solid food three days a week.
