- Synopsis:
John Gordon Sinclair is Robert, an aspiring actor willing to do anything for that elusive big break. But with his agent signing him up as a stuntman, he is more likely to break his neck. Meanwhile his girlfriend has to wait in the wings...Certain that it's only a matter of time before he makes it, struggling actor Robert throws himself into every role, taking 'break a leg' a bit too literally! Fiancee Sue (Gina McKee) is always on hand to support and encourage him, whilst his less-than-capable agent Desmond (Victor Spinetti) desperately tries to flog his talent - unsuccessfully. First broadcast in 1991, following on from a hugely popular run on BBC Radio 2, the series was written by Paul Mayhew-Archer and co-starred Benedict Taylor and Sophie Dix.
