BBC One’s adaptation of This Is Going to Hurt – based on Adam Kay’s best-selling book of the same name – arrived on BBC iPlayer today, with Ben Whishaw starring as a junior doctor working in the NHS.

While the seven-parter boasts terrific performances from its all-star cast, including Dame Harriet Walter, Ambika Mod and Alex Jennings, the comedy-drama also features a stellar soundtrack.

From Florence + the Machine and The Libertines, to original songs from Pulp’s Jarvis Cocker, there are a number of ear-worms you’re bound to recognise while you binge your way through the boxset.

Here’s a list of the songs that feature in This Is Going to Hurt.
