Graham Fellows

Excuse Me, Are You John Shuttleworth?

Episode 2

Part Two finds Graham following the death of his mother and ready to quit showbusiness. After some counselling, he decides that what he really wants to do with his life is become a milkman! But after three months with not a single glimpse of a housewife in a nightie, he's offered an acting job in the theatre. This renews his love of performing and he returns to John Shuttleworth, honing the character so that he's shortlisted for the Perrier Awards and has his first series on Radio 4.
