Sister George is a beloved character on a radio soap opera, a nurse who cycles about the countryside singing hymns and doing good. In real life, the actress who plays the character is a gin-swigging tyrant in a long-term relationship with a woman whom she treats cruelly.

Due to low ratings, cutbacks and the actress’s increasingly bad behaviour, the BBC decide to kill off her character.
