Original cast members Olivia Colman, Tamsin Greig and more return for a revamp of the show, 17 years later, in audio form. Plus: five of the best home improvement podcasts

Seventeen years after the anarchic and gloriously inappropriate medical show ended, it is revived in podcast form. The original cast, including Olivia Colman, Tamsin Greig and Stephen Mangan are all present. The medics have aged disgracefully, making the trip back to East Hampton hospital worthwhile – and Statham is still the greatest character, marking his territory when the new boss takes his parking space.

Abbey Clancy breaks free from The Therapy Crouch for her own interview podcast. Her first guest is former chief business officer for Google X, Mo Gawdat. He discusses a happy and stress-free life, but also talks movingly about the death of his 21-year-old son, grief and spirituality. It’s a complete change of tone from Clancy and is totally absorbing.

Seals, AI and surreal times: Harry Hill nails the meaning of wholesome on his new podcast designed as a companion to family car journeys. Younger children will love the cheeky songs and references to ants, the battle of Hastings and gross school dinners, but with guests including Alan Carr and Grayson Perry it’s a treat for adults, too.

Lionesses Ella Toone and Alessia Russo are best mates off the pitch – so they ramble about every detail of their friendship in this new series where “nothing is off the table”. Vick Hope is here to keep some order, but they quickly jump between random topics, just like any other conversation between good pals.Home renovations can range from the minute to the massive, from working out how to fix a faulty tap all the way to tiling, plastering and tearing down walls.
