    Was listening to a drama on Radio with Dennis Waterman in (from the 1990s, I think), he basically was the same character. Had to do with Welsh people burning cottages- he was still catnip (birdnip?) though

    Yes. It's quite possible that he wrote the thing, though. Which would explain how he was able to portray himself as irresistible to women.

    I seem to remember he had a sitcom in the 80s/90s (where he wrote the theme tune, sang the theme tune, natch) and in which he played a wealthy middle aged man who was hugely attractive to women.

    Oh, that was terrific. Sam Kelly and dear old Joan Sims were in it.
    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    There was something like that, yes. Now I remember his daughter was in EastEnders - different wife/mother though
