Remember that film with Bill and Jeff? You know the one, the gay revenge drama set in a U-boat. No? Never mind.

In the latest episode, the boys consider whether Dominic Cummings was right to compare the government’s handling of the pandemic to sci-fi movie Independence Day, if Rosemary West would have done a good job of promoting the vaccine programme and what sort of health secretary Priti Patel would make.

But it’s not all doom and gloom. Baroness Harding makes a welcome return as theoretical NHS chief executive Dido Harding, and Baron Finkelstein of Pinner, the journalist and political commentator better known as Danny Finkelstein, is our special guest.

Plus all your usual favourites, including Virtue Signal of the Week and Pete Turton’s mum’s second favourite hospital doctor, Pete Turton, with an in-depth investigation into the issues that really matter to clinicians.

Younger, groovier fans will be delighted to hear that the talented rapper and health policy analyst Hurricane Ceasar is back with another musical reflection on the state of the NHS. We think it’s his best work since the Five Year Forward View.

Warning: Contains scenes of poor taste, swearing and Andy Cowper.
