Though Martha has refused Tony a certificate of sanity, he just keeps coming back.

Tony, (Tim McInnerny) eager to establish his Englishness, is gratified to learn from a genealogist from Burton-on-the-Water that he is, in fact, descended from Merlin.

Having completed his rehabilitation course following accusations of sexism and cruelty to his employees, Tony has returned to Martha's sessions a new man. Women and foreigners are no longer the object of his irritation - it's now vegans refusing to eat avocado on toast (as everyone knows they are supposed to) who have begun to get under his skin.

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'.
