Best Medicine
Award-winning comedian Kiri Pritchard-McLean is joined by funny and fascinating comedians, doctors, scientists, and historians to celebrate medicine's inspiring past, present and future. In each programme, Kiri challenges her guests to make a case for what they think is 'the best medicine', and each of them champions anything from world-changing science to an obscure invention, an every-day treatment, an uplifting worldview, an unsung hero or a futuristic cure. Whether it's micro-robotic surgery, virtual reality syringes, Victorian clockwork surgical saws, more than a few ingenious cures for cancer, world-first lifesaving heart operations, epidurals, therapy, dancing, faith or laughter - it's always something worth celebrating.

Just wanted to remind you all how good this show is! Really interesting panel show angle, talking about a variety of medical matters in a fun and funny way. Really impressed.
What a discovery!

I can’t believe I’ve only just found this gem! Kiri Pritchard-McLean is an amazing host, quick as a flash, her comments make the interesting medical facts funny, and the production team do a great job at booking amazing, and surprisingly funny, leaders of the medical field. It just works, so well, Kiri was born for this! I have started from series 1 and I’m pacing myself in not binging it, so it lasts longer. Well done all!
Brilliant

Absolutely brilliant show. Kiri is very funny, as are all the panellists - I don’t know where they find them - or how they come up with the right combination of serious and light hearted, but it works every time. And I am learning so much as well as laughing. Bonus.
It is

Best Medicine is a cracking mix of science, sarcasm and super humans. Kiri excels in this role, balancing humour, warmth and pathos to a quality show that needs to keep on keeping on.
