      A NEW bug born in Oldham is sweeping hospital wards across the country. But this "super" bug is the star of a new radio soap opera. And "Billy the Bug" is helping keep the potentially deadly MRSA virus away from hospital wards. The microscopic marvel has already featured in four short plays for Oldham's Radio Cavell, which broadcasts to hospitals in north east Manchester. And his adventures, trying to "visit" a hospital ward, will soon be heard at a further 61 hospital radio stations nationwide.

He said: "Billy is just a humorous way to remind people to take care on the wards. "Hopefully his escapades are fun as well as informative."
