Overview

Doctor Williams is called in to examine the enigmatic Mr Voorman, a prisoner with a peculiar affliction: he believes he is a god. The Doctor must decide on the sanity of Mr Voorman - is he a faker or a lunatic? Diagnose him insane and they can ship him off to the asylum. But before making a decision, the Doctor has several questions in relation to Voorman's claims: why would a god choose to be straitjacketed in a prison, is there a way he can validate his boast and what has any of this got to do with Belgium?

When esteemed psychiatrist “Williams” (Martin Freeman) turns up in the office of a prison governor, he is presented with the problem of the inmate “Voorman” who really believes he is a god. What’s more, he seems to have managed to convince the entire institution that he is too! Well a consultation is obviously in order and so he sits opposite the straight-jacketed gent (Tom Hollander) who proceeds to offer to prove his credentials by making Belgium disappear! Easy enough to counter, surely - or did we never actually listen to “J’aime la vie” at Eurovision after all? This is quite a quirky shor...
