Phil Hammond and Tony Gardner revive Struck Off And Die for Radio 4
Dr Phil Hammond and Tony Gardner are reviving their medical comedy double act, Struck Off And Die, after 25 years, for Doctor On Hold, a new Radio 4 series next year.
British Comedy Guide, 18th July 2024It's been a while since anyone dared claim that they were doing satire, until Struck Off And Die. This two-doctor combo finished their Radio 4 series with a look at ageing: not so much bedpan humour as colostomy jokes, along with quips about incontinence, dentures, and dribbling. They were sharp on how old people are patronised, and offered good advice to oldies about [how] to sabotage their children's Christmas dinner: repeat throughout the meal "I hate turkey"
