He's MD in Private Eye, and does the odd bit here and there for Nursing Times and other medical publications.

He's also known for his work with Tony Gardner (the Other One from Armstrong & Miller) under the name "Struck Off And Die!", a medical comedy act which did some live stuff and then two radio series in 1993/4. SOAD always seemed to walk a bit of a line between mocking, and actually being, traditional med-stude revue-type humour. I'd assumed the act had been put to rest after Hammond started doing things like "Trust Me...", but they returned earlier this year with another radio show ("SOAD's Family Health Companion"). Highlight probably the publication of the General Medical Council's confidence-inspiring report "All Shipman-shape and Bristol fashion", if that gives you some idea.

Who can forget Channel 5's 'Tibs and Fibs'

Mime the disease anyone?

If he's left SOAD, perhaps they should get someone else in to be the new Dr Phil Hammond. With a regeneration sequence of them changing into each other...

There's been funnier doctors, haven't there? Such as Graham Chapman, Graham Garden and Jonathan Miller.

Dr Joseph Goebbels had some very funny ideas.

He's still in SOAD. However, the idea of forcing all doctors to regenerate into different actors now and again is a good one. Especially if they all have to take turns to be the brother off of All Creatures Great And Small.

what about Harry Hill?

He's already got a TV job. He wouldn't want to be the 2nd Dr Phil Hammond.

Matt Bradstock is a medic of some kind, isn't he? There's a story about how he was driving down the motorway to do one of the Fist Of Fun shows, when there was an accident in front of him... apparently he got out, brought the dead back to life or whatever, and continued on his merry way to the recording...
