The Staff

Character Profiles:

Lindsay (Vicky Hall): Fat and happy to be that way, Lindsay is a biology teacher who just can’t be arsed. She can out-blunt any of the lads, and despite her air of scepticism she’s entertaining, sharp and has a positive, matter of fact outlook on life.

She shares a flat with:

Penny (Tamzin Malleson) who still wants her own way, is still annoying, self centred and prepared to use her not entirely own breasts to help her get what she wants. But living with Lindsay is knocking some of the edges off her – basically because Lindsay won’t tolerate her excesses…

Bob (Lloyd McGuire) hasn’t had much luck recently. He’s lost his wife, his home and now he’s lost his job as Head of English to the younger, better looking and more likeable Ewan. But gone is the old miserable, over-the-hill Bob who thought that every ‘f***ing f***er’ had it in for him. This is the new open-minded, youthful, laidback Bob looking forward to a new job, a new hairpiece and a new wife. Wonder how long that will all last…

Damien (Daon Broni) teaches Food Technology. He lives with Ben and Ewan – but runs rings round them – primarily because he’s a bit sharper than Ewan, and bit less neurotic than Ben. He’s deeply sarcastic, takes great pleasure in winding people up, and occasionally verges on the cruel, but always gets away with it because, above all, he’s funny. He’s slightly less than averagely successful with women – something that frustrates him enormously. He really can’t understand why Ewan always manages to pull and he doesn’t.

Ewan (Lee Williams) is the new Head of English. He is good looking, positive, gullible and always trying to do the right thing – though he quite often mucks it up en-route. Ewan in his innocence can easily offend, but has an endearing quality that allows him to get away with it. He is incredibly successful with women, but has no idea why. In fact he’s never really thought about it.

Ben (Mathew Horne) is the neurotic, atheist R.E. teacher. Always the pessimist, he worries about how everyone else’s traumas will affect him, while managing to talk himself out of every opportunity that may come his way - after all, what’s the point. It will only end in tears. But he is a likeable character and his neuroses always manage to provide the others with no end of entertainment and fun – especially Damien.

Clare (Gillian Bevan): Back as Head Teacher of the new school, Clare is disappointed to find that Bob has also returned. She wants Bob out and she’ll be watching his every move, waiting for a reason to sack him. In the meantime she’s arranged a few initiatives for everyone to get to know the new staff, especially Ewan who Clare seems to have taken rather a shine to.

Liz (Ellen Thomas): With her surly daughter in tow, Liz is as big a bitch as ever, making sure everyone knows that she will be of no help to anyone what so ever. If only she could put them in their place, especially Penny, it would make her day.

Carol (Ursula Holden Gill): She’s back as Liz’s sidekick and still freaking everyone out with her odd behaviour. But something’s different, she’s changed… As well as a new baby to look after, she’s got a new attitude – she hates everyone and everything from Xmas to old people. No one is safe.
