Bumbling and innocent, Martin failed his exams for a second time and remains the target of Guy’s ‘wit’.
He spent most of the first series working up the courage to ask Caroline out, before blowing it by trying to play hard-to-get after buying her for £3000 in the slave auction. Ever impressionable, he was once convinced by Mac and Guy to drink some of Guy’s urine in an attempt to harness his pulling powers. Unfortunately it turned out to be ‘corpse juice’ from the path lab.
In his own words:
'Have you ever thought about having a sexy girlfriend who you'd sleep with?'
'Hello mum it’s me, Martin. Martin Dear, Martin, M-A-R-T-I-N… you know who it is.'
'She's my smoo too!'
