Tony the restaurateur is back demanding a certificate attesting to his sanity.

Tony is still no wiser as to why his jokes with a sexist edge fail to go down well with the ladies. It must be their hormones, or something.

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

Having completed his rehabilitation course, following accusations of sexism and cruelty to his employees, Tony has returned to Martha's sessions a new man - or so he thinks. He has even launched a women only menu in his restaurant to cater for the female obsession with calories - with special attention and advice to be given to ladies whom he considers overweight. He is mystified as to why this considerate gesture is not met with the acclaim he feels it deserves.

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.
