How Does That Make You Feel?

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

Therapist Martha braces herself for the arrival of the accident-prone Richard Fallon MP.

Of late, Richard Fallon MP seems to have avoided any major embarrassments on reality TV, but he has had an unfortunate recent encounter with a member of the press.

In this the 7th series of 'How Does that Make You Feel?' Martha's clients have made few changes to their circumstances.

Richard's PA Genevieve has advised him to get a Twitter and Facebook account to help raise his profile. And despite some initial abuse from disgruntled constituents his profile does seem to rise - a little. But when he is contacted by an old friend from school, a female friend for whom he once had a big passion, this turns out to be a major mistake.

Shelagh Stephenson is the author of 'A Short History of Longing' and 'Guests Are Like Fish', recently heard on Radio 4. She is an Olivier Award winner for her play 'The Memory of Water' and has won Sony and Writer's Guild awards for her plays 'Darling Peidi' and 'Five Kinds of Silence'. She wrote Enid (the life of Enid Blyton) for BBC4 and Shirley (the Shirley Bassey story) for BBC2. She is currently writing, new plays for Hampstead Theatre and Live Theatre in Newcastle, a number of feature films and a TV series for BBC 1.
