BBC Radio 4 Extra - Polyoaks, Series 5, The Trials of Mrs Bundy

The NHS comedy takes a satirical look at social care and TV's Dr Jeremy is confused.

The problems of call centres and the outsourcing of community care confuse TV's Dr Jeremy. Starring David Westhead. From 2017.

Dr Jeremy has problems with a patient who can't remember their own name, Mr Twigg has problems getting an appointment, Dr Roy has problems putting together a consortium to bid for local community care services, and Dr Hugh has problems with Dr Roy. 

Everyone has a problem with call waiting. 

Nigel Planer, Simon Greenall and David Westhead star as the staff of Bristol's most dysfunctional General Practice.

Written by Dr Phil Hammond and Mr David Spicer.
