The comic suffered a suspected 'mini-stroke' while at home in London — sitting on the toilet. It was an odd episode. The comedian was referred to a London stroke clinic for tests, which ruled out any serious neurological condition, although he is still waiting for the result of heart tests. He also recalls how he was working as a bricklayer on a building site for the show when he had a phone call telling him that his Dad had suffered a heart attack.
The NHS advises anyone suffering such an attack to call as it could be the start of a full stroke. Frankie Boyle makes his stage acting debut. Dara O Brian announces UK tour.

Rhod Gilbert, 51, was sitting on the toilet in his London home when his left arm started shaking involuntarily.
It was a really odd episode. Rhod, who was shaken by the incident, was then referred to a nearby stroke clinic. When my arm began to shake uncontrollably, it was scary. Mini-stroke is another name for a transient ischaemic attack TIA. The condition is caused by a temporary disruption in the blood supply to part of the brain. The effects last a few minutes to a few hours and fully resolve within 24 hours.
