Phil Hammond is a doctor, journalist, broadcaster and possibly the only comedian to have appeared at a public inquiry. Rude about everything, from politicians and doctors, to death, drugs and sex, his Radio 4 sitcom Polyoaks – about GPs struggling with the NHS reforms – was co-written with David Spicer and has just been re-commissioned for a third series.
