Pete Wicks: Tattoos, Trauma & Trying to Be Enough

Obsessed with the past, Josh Widdicombe confronts his nostalgia head-on in Dr Marler’s office. Together, they navigate absurd stories - including David Hasselhoff’s Berlin Wall claim and the cultural significance of Mr Blobby - and attempt blind rankings of the greatest moments in pop culture… with predictably chaotic results. The session takes a surreal turn with a surprise intervention from Josh’s favourite TV doctor, Dr Karl Kennedy, before Joe sets him the ultimate task... meeting 90s Josh and finally breaking up with the past.

Pete Wicks enters Dr Joe’s office carrying a belief he’s had since childhood: that he’s never quite enough. Together, they trace that feeling back to its roots, unpacking the early experiences that shaped Pete’s self-worth and the pressure he’s carried ever since. The conversation widens to modern masculinity, including Pete’s interview with Prime Minister Keir Starmer and what it revealed about being a man today. A shared love of tattoos then leads to a Rorschach-style experiment involving Joe’s body and some highly questionable analysis.

Sue Perkins arrives at Dr Joe’s office carrying the weight of a relentlessly busy life - filming, touring, creating - and leaves having quite literally taken it out on him. As she attempts to unwind, Sue recounts a life lived at full tilt: hallucinogenic trips in South America, being shot at point-blank range, and a brain that never seems to switch off. It’s a whirlwind of stories that makes slowing down feel like an alien concept. Somewhere along the way, Joe realises he’s learning more than he ever has from a guest - even if that education includes alarming facts about ducks and owls and an improv lesson he won't be forgetting for a while. Naturally, the session builds to one of Joe’s boldest exercises yet. Boxing gloves on and with stress triggers stuck to his body, Sue is invited to punch away everything weighing her down, using Joe as a fully willing human punching bag.

Knight of the realm, national treasure and lifelong rule-breaker Stephen Fry enters Dr Joe Marler's clinic for a session that asks one big question: has he overcorrected? Once notorious for his youthful mischief - including a spell in prison and some truly decadent party years - Stephen reflects on how far he’s travelled from troublemaker to establishment favourite, and whether something vital was left behind along the way. The conversation moves from rebellion to royal friendships, as Joe tests just how close Stephen really is to King Charles, before steering the session into deeply questionable territory. What starts as a light-hearted nudge towards naughtiness soon escapes Joe’s grasp entirely, triggering identity fraud, the Celebrity Traitors WhatsApp group, and a message that no one - least of all Joe - was prepared for.

Former Special Forces Sergeant and star of SAS: Who Dares Wins Jason Fox commando rolls into the office for a session on risk, pain and defecating behind enemy lines. Joe’s mission is to help Jason accept that ‘who dares’ doesn’t always win and perhaps he should adopt more caution in his life. It also presents a chance for Joe to ask all the questions he wanted to know about the forces… can Jason debunk the myth about Commandos wearing underwear? The boys share compelling stories about their evolving relationships with mental health, particularly how Jason was forced to leave the military due to his PTSD.And it wouldn’t be a proper session without some exercises barely grounded in actual science. Jason teaches Joe how to cope with pain, and Joe makes Jason come face to face with his ultimate danger… getting someone’s name wrong at a party.

Comedian Maisie Adam joins Joe Marler for a consultation that spirals almost immediately. Maisie talks about best-man speeches, competitiveness and the humbling reality of being known as “what’s-her-face”. Joe is on hand to fix her identity crisis, just as soon as he takes his foot out of his mouth after the most inappropriate intake form yet. If Joe’s thorough methods were ever in doubt, topics covered include best-man speeches, nudist beaches and commercially successful steam locomotives.

Joe Marler is back in the office, and this week’s patient is the impeccably polished Tom Allen. Across a session that moves from refined grammar debates to total chaos, Tom opens up about perfectionism, control, growing up feeling out of place, and why wearing a suit makes him feel safe. Joe attempts to help him embrace imperfection with his usual mix of invasive questions, questionable therapy techniques and zero qualifications. There are discussions about custard, gardening, childhood dinner parties, suits of armour, leaf blowers, and the horror of an unpolished shoe. The episode climaxes with some baking-based exposure therapy that goes exactly as badly as you’d expect. Oh, and it’s Janet’s Birthday!!!

Joe welcomes comedian and podcaster Russell Howard into the consulting room for a session that starts with a light chat about monkeys pleasuring themselves, before escalating to heavier topics like the inevitability of death. Russell’s trademark positivity is put under the microscope as he opens up about work, ambition, grief, and the anxiety that comes with constantly chasing the perfect show. Along the way, Joe does what he does best, offering wildly unqualified psychological insight, steering conversations into deeply inappropriate territory, and blurring the line between therapy and absolute nonsense. What lengths is Russell going to in order to prolong his life? Can Joe help him overcome his fear of death? And do dogs have vaginas? Believe it or not, these are all legitimate questions raised (and to an extent answered) on this week’s episode.

From YouTube chaos to the doctor's chair, prankster Max Fosh enters Dr Joe’s clinic with a complete lack of shame and an impressive catalogue of embarrassing stories. Joe attempts to diagnose Max’s addiction to humiliation, from leaked nudes to naked mishaps and outrageous stunts, revealing a comedian who thrives in embarrassment. After Max turns Joe’s session upside down with an old-school prank call, Joe hits back with a final challenge: a merciless “Shame Off” that drags them both into chaos.
