I've been in hospital for the past 10 days and they've played a weird selection of music on hospital radio - including this. I couldn't wait to get out and find out more about it. The video is even better. I've travelled on a lot of NX buses (cheaper than the train) and I've seen these people at first hand. I was on a bus many years ago when a young couple got on in Birmingham at almost midnight. The driver wasn't going to let them on because they looked to be out of their skulls and kicked up a stink when he objected to them but they had valid tickets so he had to. Later, I saw them heading towards the toilets at the back with small bags of powder.

it examines with some irony the UK National Health Service from the viewpoint of a mental health patient (portrayed by Hannon) in a psychiatric hospital filmed at the now demolished Joyce Green Hospital in Dartford, Kent. The video begins with a doctor and a woman (the patient's wife), with faces hidden and only their hands shown, talking about the patient's problems. As the music starts, it then cuts to Hannon as the patient, being pushed in a wheelchair by a porter to the wards and then taking his medication, The patient gets out of his hospital bed and starts dancing around.

He’s like Doctor Who going through a regeneration. I think he’d make a brilliant 14th doctor.

You know the UK had other shows that aren't Doctor Who, right?

I love the part where his wife exclaims 'He's not a bus driver'. In my head it's in horror and disgust. Coach driver!, she's thinking!

This song is destined to be in an Ad for some airways that I will probably be afraid of flying with.
