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

This week for a change, Richard Fallon MP seems to have avoided any major embarrassments on reality TV - but an incident in a natural food restaurant threatens to cloud his mood.

In this the 10th series of 'How Does that Make You Feel?' Martha's clients have made few changes to their circumstances. 

For several months, Richard has managed to avoid scandal and humiliation, but as ever he oscillates between the need for a low profile and his desperate craving for recognition.  And so alarm bells start ringing when he reveals to Martha - in total secrecy - that he has been snapped by paparazzi leaving a restaurant carrying a woman over his shoulder.

Shelagh Stephenson is the author of Radio 4's 'A Short History of Longing' and 'Guests Are Like Fish'. 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'.
