Dr. Piers Crispin

Dr. Piers Crispin is the main antagonist of the 2000-2006 BBC sitcom My Hero.

He is played by Hugh Dennis.

Piers is the doctor at the Northolt Health Centre and serves as the corrupt boss of Janet Dawkins (later Sunday). Despite saying to his patients that he's always here, Piers in reality cares more about his public image than his patients welfare.

Besides working at the health centre, Piers also has a television career, which he is more concerned about than anything. He accidentally revealed to Janet that he faked his A-Level results in order to get into medical school.

Piers is in love with Janet and believes that she feels the same way, but she is in fact in love with George Sunday (the alias of Thermoman). In the third episode of Series 1, Piers discovered that George was Thermoman and attempted to blackmail him into leaving Janet, so he could have her to himself. However this fails, when George is able to erase Piers' memory.

It is later revealed in the sixth series that the reason for Piers' behaviour was he was bullied at school and was treated badly by his parents, such as being locked in a cellar by his father and being ignored by his mother who was celebrating his brother's latest scout badge.
