1st Broadcast 1999 BBC Radio 2
Dirk Maggs
A musical sitcom about the onset of middle age, with the forty-year-old hero Mervyn.
Rock ’n' roll sitcom featuring forty-something Mervyn Stutter as the beleaguered ex-hippy fast approaching his sell by date.
As well as confronting the normal mid-life crises of expanding waistline and diminishing prospects,
Mervyn has to juggle a bizarre and bewildering cast of friends, lodgers and hangers-on.
A hilarious take on the journey into middle age, illuminated and illustrated by specially written songs.
