Vic Reeves' Big Night Out Character

[sp1814]

On this show, there was a regular character with a bald head, glasses who always wore a white coat.

The running joke was that he was afraid of something innocuous.

Can anyone remember what it was?

Years ago I saw Fred Aylward in conversation with a very attractive young lady in a nightclub in Manchester.

I used the word 'conversation' loosely - even though the music was too loud to hear what was being said, I could see his lips moving with pause for about half an hour, and hers not moving at all. The she walked off and he looked really miserable!
