Further details
Co-written and directed by The League of Gentlemen's Jeremy Dyson, this new six-part series features an array of talent, including Kathy Burke, Sam Spiro, Sharon Horgan, Morgana Robinson, Michelle Gomez, Katy Brand, Doon Mackichan, Sophie Ellis-Bexter, Meera Syal, Sheila Reid, Selina Griffiths, Zawe Ashton, Jack Whitehall, Frances Barber, Liza Tarbuck and comedy duo Cardinal Burns.
From Aphrodite and Anne Boleyn to Janis Joplin and Wilson, Keppel and Betty, our therapist lends a sympathetic ear and tries to probe the depths of her patients' unusual minds.
Rooted in history and psychology, this new series offers a brilliantly inventive, silly, dark and irreverent comic insight into history's departed icons, without ever leaving the consulting room.
