Danny Spencer is the voiceover actor for a children's TV program character, Dexter, a kung-fu nurse bear. Danny tries to face up to a personal tragedy after the death of his wife. Instead of grief, however, he is ashamed to find himself feeling a sense of freedom.

Danny tries to halt the ageing process by spending time at the pub, while his ego takes a dent when Dawn French makes a guest appearance on Dexter's show.

Danny cannot escape sex; he's not actually having any, but it's everywhere. Terry & Rachel, meanwhile, visit the hospital for her ultrasound scan.

Danny has a dream involving Charlie Higson. Pitying Danny's plight, Bob Geldof sets him up on a blind date.

With his 40th birthday looming, Danny gives his first-ever interview to the press, but his nerves cause him to drink too much and become somewhat indiscreet.
