Denver Mills: Hug a Leper Week

Retired 400-metre silver medallist Denver Mills is driven to a public appearance by a charity representative, who thanks him for stepping in and gets his name wrong. On the way Denver reads out his speech for Hug a Leper Week, earnestly condemning the misconceptions and jokes that people with leprosy face, and accepts a sweet from his driver. The representative then mentions that he picked up leprosy himself while working as a missionary in Ghana, and adds that Denver will be meeting people at every stage of the disease. Denver's composure gives way, and he flings himself out of the moving car and sprints off down the road.

Denver Mills's claimed medal, silver in the 400 metres at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, was in reality won by the Ivorian sprinter Gabriel Tiacoh. In the original radio version of Little Britain, Denver was a gold medallist.
