Dr. Phil’s Rude Health Show
Thursday 16 Sept, 8.00pm
If you only see one doctor this year, make it Dr Phil. A GP, writer and broadcaster, he’s Private Eye's medical correspondent and has appeared on Have I Got News for You, The News Quiz and The Now Show. Dr Phil is rude about everything - politicians, doctors, death, drugs, sex, himself - but in a funny way. A medicinal dose of hilarity and irreverence, he tackles all those awkward health questions… like, how can you get out of hospital alive! Dr Phil has all the answers. And if he doesn’t, he’ll just do what all doctors do. Make some up.
