This week's guest is top comedian Ben Clover who joins us live from Edinburgh Fringe, hence the clear background noise of people having way too much fun in the daytime. Ben explains how he changed his look post plague, to a point where his cohorts barely recognised him in the street. Regarding telly, we discuss the genius and brutality of shows such as Wolf, Deadwood and Utopia, the latter being a show that Ben could no doubt write a thesis on. The talent of David Simon comes up yet again, as does the creepiness behind Top of the Pops presenters and the BBC test card. Conversely, Ben also contemplates how different the TV show Life on Mars could have been had it been made just a few years later, with the investigative knowledge of Operation Yewtree within Sam Tyler's remit.Follow us on Instagram & Twitter (links below):All music written and performed in this podcast by Steve Otis Gunn.Please buy my book 'You Shot My Dog and I Love You' available in all good book shops, online and directly.Podcast Socials:Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tvtimespodInsta: https://www.instagram.com/tvtimespodYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@tvtimespodTwitter: https://twitter.com/tvtimespodSteve's Socials:Insta: https://www.instagram.com/steveotisgunnTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/steveotisgunnFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/steveotisgunn.antisocialBen's Socials:Insta: https://www.instagram.com/benclovercomedianTwitter: https://twitter.com/BenClover_Produced by Steve Otis Gunn for Jilted Maggotwww.jiltedmaggot.com Hosted on Acast.

This week we assess the damage after one of the toughest weeks of NHS strike action, with junior doctors and consultants both taking action.   We ask what impact this had on the recovery effort and look at some of the surprising trends to emerge from the strike data. With Annabelle Collins, Ben Clover and James Illman. 

This week bureau chief Ben Clover is joined by colleagues to discuss some of the biggest stories ahead of the junior doctors' strike. Matt Discombe reveals the results of an inquiry into an ambulance trust found to've withheld key details of patient deaths from a coroner. The report is damning but some stakeholders have said it is more notable for what it doesn't cover. Recorded on Wednesday before the longest junior doctors' strike yet, James Illman and Henry Anderson explain how NHS England's finance director may have let the cat out of the bag about something ministers deny – that the huge round of cancellations caused by industrial action mean the service might miss the PM's pledge to have waiting lists falling.

This week bureau chief Ben Clover is joined by colleagues Nick Kituno and Zoe Tidman. The long-awaited NHS workforce plan finally arrived last week, missing lots of the detail that managers and professional associations were crying out for. What was in it, what was not in it and a few surprises are covered in this week's podcast. Also, what are the prospects for the NHS's crumbling estate. Correspondent Zoe Tidman takes us through the latest in the convoluted quest to get some refurbished hospitals finished this side of 2030.

This week bureau chief Ben Clover stands in for Annabelle Collins and introduces two important stories, one that got national coverage and one that HSJ broke. Deputy editor Dave West takes us through the strange delay of some community diagnostic centres, which some suspect is politically-motivated as the government looks to what it can deliver before an election next year. Correspondent Mimi Launder then takes us behind the announcements on the primary care recovery plan. This received a lot of national attention earlier this week but HSJ obtained internal documentation showing just how patchy the roll-out is of some of the technology the government is counting on.

A legal battle has erupted between a hospital trust and bank-backed PFI company over fire safety and payment refusals. We discuss why the case has potentially wider implications for other NHS trusts.  Also this week, we find out why NHS England had to apologise to staff impacted by problems during its restructure, and hear about the latest twist in an ICS dogged by troubling leadership issues. Featuring Nick Carding, Ben Clover and Dave West. Send views and questions to annabelle.collins@hsj.co.uk.

Fresh from starting work as NHS Providers' new chief executive, Sir Julian Hartley joins HSJ Health Check to talk about collaboration, strikes, reform and more. We ask the former Leeds Hospitals chief why he moved to a national role, and what building a successful provider collaborative looks like in practice. He also discusses the long haul of improvement facing the service, arguments for fundamental reform, and why we need NHS Providers. With HSJ's Annabelle Collins, Dave West and Ben Clover.

This week bureau chief Ben Clover fills in for Annabelle Collins. Ben is joined by mental health correspondent Emily Townsend and HSJ's urgent care lead Matt Discombe to discuss new targets (and the lack of them), discharge and how involved the police should be in mental health services.

“Rubbish” communications have been blamed by senior NHS leaders for causing a flood of people going to A&E with Group Strep A concerns, with calls to NHS 111 hitting record levels so far this winter. We discuss the impact this is having on access to treatment and medicines and what should have been done to stop it. Also we talk more about the creation of an elective recovery taskforce and a bigger role for the private sector in taking NHS patients. Plus, the latest on nursing and ambulance staff strikes due to start next week. Hosted by Annabelle Collins and featuring Ben Clover and Nick Kituno. Got a question for our expert team? Let us know on Twitter @HSJAnnabelle and we'll answer it next week.

Former health secretary Jeremy Hunt is now the most powerful person in the country. We discuss what some of his mini-budget reversals mean for the NHS and if the health service is safe in his hands. Also this week – the NHS faces £7bn in additional inflation costs and something has got to give. But what? Featuring Alastair McLellan, Ben Clover and Annabelle Collins.

In a week that saw Liz Truss replace Boris Johnson as prime minister, the HSJ team assess the challenges faced by her new health secretary Therese Coffey, plus the dire state of ambulance services. Ms Coffey set ambulances as one of her four “ABCD” priorities, alongside the elective backlog, care and doctors and dentists.

We discuss the NHS' performance against emergency, elective and cancer care targets with new figures this week showing performance is worsening despite efforts to reverse this. We also hear about national leaders' concerns that long waiting times are creating a worrying shift in attitude from the public, and examine an unusual financial dispute between two NHS bodies which harks back to the days of the internal market. Featuring Nick Carding, Ben Clover and James Illman.

This week the team analyses what government’s new health plan – the most significant reform of the NHS in nearly a decade – really means. While giving integrated care systems a statutory footing and axing the NHS tender process, if passed the proposals would give the health secretary far-reaching powers over NHS England, other arm's length bodies and local reconfigurations. Featuring Sharon Brennan, Ben Clover, Annabelle Collins and Dave West.

On this podcast he discusses the trends and highlights the settings and regions that may not yet have peaked.
