Episode 6 of 6

Dr Phil Hammond asks three guests to play tracks of their choice. He is joined by ex-army officer Patrick Hennessey, comedian Sarah Millican and journalist John Harris.

Comedian, broadcaster and GP Dr Phil Hammond asks three guests to play the track of their choice for the delight or disdain of the others.

Journalist John Harris joins comedian Sarah Millican and ex-army captain Patrick Hennessey to explain why they've brought a swampy Cajun blues number, a TV soundtrack staple and an infamous song about mortality to the final group in the series.

In a wide ranging debate that takes in the impenetrable nature of Captain Beefheart and the emotional blackmail of bands like Coldplay, John describes a moment of epiphany outside a Leominster service station, Sarah revels in her taste for "mother-in-law" music and Patrick reveals what made his troops cry in Afghanistan. It wasn't always the hard combat and the casualties.

The music choices are:
Clear Spot by Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band
Chocolate by Snow Patrol
The Great Gig in the Sky by Pink Floyd

Producer: Tamsin Hughes
A Testbed production for 成人快手 Radio 4.
