Teenage male mental health. In the final episode of Series One, Andrew engages in a spot of artistically valid nepotism - by interviewing a member of his family. Tommy Lowe is Andrew's son - seventeen at the time of the interview. He talks about the view of mental health among his peers, his experiences with ADHD, and what it's like to grow up in a world where everything is on and everybody is expected to be open and available 24/7. Spoiler: it's surprisingly positive.
Also:
• Andy has a moan about the mental health pressures of Christmas.
• Tim has got a new microphone.
