I’ve got into McLevy on radio 4 extra on iPlayer, which is excellent for bedtime listening, with Brian Cox and Siobhan Redmond, written by David Ashton, who appears as the miserable and put-upon Roach.

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.
