Synopsis

All ten episodes of the dark, surreal comedy featuring Matt Berry's twisted regression therapist

Unorthodox, unpredictable, and verging on the unprofessional, Dr Berry is a deeply disturbing hypnotherapist. His experimental regressive technique is both strange and terrifying, and involves taking unsuspecting clients on unsettling journeys through their subconscious.

Each episode sees him dealing with a patient who needs treatment for a particular problem. There's Karen House-Water, who's aquaphobic (and therefore afraid of half her own name); Ray Highknock, a smoking addict who wants to kick the habit; a pair of East End twins with unexpected past lives and a man who's scared of everything about cats (including the musical).

As the doctor puts them into a trance, we take a trip into the deepest recesses of their minds, experiencing alongside them the dreamlike - or nightmare-like - situations that their brains (and Dr Berry) have created. But as they're faced with talking dolphins, an interplanetary voyage, the inside of a whale and the God of Thunder, they soon realise that the cure could be worse than the disease...

Brilliantly bizarre and an ideal late-night listen, this dark, Lynch-meets Kaufman-style series won the 2012 Writers' Guild Award for Best Radio Comedy. It stars Matt Berry (Toast of London, The IT Crowd) as Dr Berry, with a stellar cast including Katherine Parkinson, Simon Greenall, Morgana Robinson, Bob Mortimer, Steve Pemberton and Daisy Haggard.

Goodreads review by Jarrod on August 15, 2025

Audible review - Brilliantly funny. Matt Berry, Katherine Parkinson (both of the equally brilliant comedy series The IT Crowd) et al (all excellent performances). The doctor will see you now. Next please.......more

Goodreads review by Odd on October 10, 2021

3 stars. Firstly, this is not a book, but Good Reads says it is so I'm counting it. It's actually a series of short radio plays about Matt Berry's regression therapist, each lasting around 15 minutes. The opening few minutes of each is often laugh out loud funny, but the rest is a bit hit and miss.......more

Goodreads review by Mandi on June 11, 2023

Hilarious! If you love Matt Berry this is an audio book for you. My only complaint is that there weren’t more seasons. I’ve just had to make do with listening to the two available seasons on multiple occasions. Would have made a fantastic tv show!......more

I don’t know can I actually count this as a book. It’s a radio play but I’ll log it anyways. Very funny, especially if you like Matt Berry and his Toast of London humour.......more
