Synopsis
Bruce Byron is a popular character in The Bill. He's about 3-4 stones overweight, nearing 50 and in his own words a heart attack waiting to happen.
‘You see, I have a weight issue – the issue being that I have too much of it. Currently in the UK around 6 in 10 men are medically defined as overweight and 1 in 6 as obese. Obesity in the UK has more than doubled in the past 18 years, amongst blokes it’s tripled and with this comes increased risks to our health including heart disease – the UK’s biggest killer. According to my friends at the British Heart Foundation, heart disease kills 1 in 5 males. It is responsible for 32% of premature deaths in males. Someone in the UK has a heart attack every two minutes. That could be me.
So, here we are. This is the documented journey of a soon to be fifty year old, seriously overweight man who works long hours and wants to be around to see his children grow up, a man who wants to play and do exciting strenuous activities with my family, enjoy getting old with my beautiful wife and be around long enough to enjoy the rewards of our very hard-earned life.
Today’s the day I stop making excuses.’
