Comedian Harry Hill, plus the man who claims he can live to 150.

👉 Comedy wasn’t Harry Hill’s first choice of career. He chose medicine, instead, qualifying as a doctor after training in London. He reflects on those early days as medical student, and why he followed that path after a teacher at school told him there was “no way he would get into medical school.” Harry tells Doctor Hilary how the profession has changed in the intervening years, and that he probably should "never have been a doctor in the first place.” Harry won the Best Newcomer Award at the Edinburgh Fringe in 1992. With a career that’s included the hit shows TV Burp and You’ve been Framed, to his latest 80-date tour, he’s never regretted changing direction..

👉 Plus, in the UK, a man can expect to live to 79, and women, 83 years of age. Dr Hilary is joined by a man who believes he can live until 150 and thinks you can too. He’s Doctor Edouard Debonneuil, COO of the London Longevity Clinic. In a fascinating conversation Doctor Debonneuil discusses how he believes it is possible that one day we will live forever. He shares the top three things you can do to live longer, how he can accurately estimate someone’s biological age to within a few years, and how he hopes to live to 150.

How much alcohol is too much? Plus, journalist Sarah Vine

Almost two-thirds of us will drink more alcohol over Christmas than at other times of the year, according to a new survey from the alcohol-harm charity drinkaware. 18-34-year-olds are twice as likely to feel pressure from friends to have a drink during the festive period. My guest is Karen Tyrell, CEO of drinkaware, the charity which aims to reduce alcohol harm.

Take the drinkaware Drinking Check, a free, non-judgemental quiz to help you understand a bit more about how much you are drinking and the impact it might be having on your health. It takes less than 3 minutes, and it gives you a personalised summary based on your alcohol consumption.
