What is it? Have you got it? If so, what should you do about it? Once thought to be little more than a music-hall joke, the midlife crisis of the male is now becoming recognised as being real in its influence and effects, both physically and psychologically.
Michael Parkinson introduces this investigation, mixing humour with the facts of a subject which concerns every man over 40 - his wife, children and colleagues. Bill Simpson plays the 'menopausal man' - pursuing the answers, both right and wrong, in the kitchen, bedroom and office. Maggie Fitzgibbon expresses the female point of view in song and Peter Howell quotes the pungent views of Ogden Nash.
