Doctor Mike Banner

Dr Mike Banner is an Anesthetist and GP at Saint Aidens Royal Free Hospital.

Description
Mike first appears when he believes that he is the replacement for Dr Jeff Goodwin. However, he soon discovers that The Royal made an error and sent him an acceptance letter, when they meant to send him a rejection letter, and inform him that the job has actually been given to Dr Fitzgerald. The problem is resolved when Dr Rose offers the job of Anesthetist at Ashfordly General to Dr Fitzgerald, and The Royal employ Mike.

Nurse Marian McKaig soon catches his eye, and there is the possibility of romance for the pair. However that is short lived when Mike goes to Australia to care for his ailing father, and after his father's death, decides to stay on in Australia as part of the Flying Doctor survice. He is replaced by Doctor Nick Burnette.
