As he hurtles towards the dreaded days of Saga Holidays and Viagra on tap, everything seems to be out of control - not just his waistline. As well as the usual mid-life-crisis symptoms (loss of hair, expanding girth, wanting to have sex in strange positions with women half his age), the character he's played for twenty-five years on the BBC radio soap opera 'General Practice' is about to be killed off.
