Bernard is an accountant. He was married but his wife left him for another woman.

As a student, Bernard shared a flat with another accountancy stident, also called Bernard.

Their landlady often invited them for a game of scrabble, along with sally, the student physio who lived in the attic.

Bernard wonders about going to Furby's but always decides against it. He's met Jean, on a cruise round the Scilly Isles, and doesn't want to jeopardise anything that might have to offer.

Fynn works in the IT dept of the local hospital.

he likes to tell people the servers fallen over when they ring him with a query.

Thats if he ever answers the phone.

These are fab.Uncannily accurate though.

Yolande works on the cosmetics counter in a local department store.She always has a full face of thick slap on.Even her boyfriend Paul has never seen her face in its natural sake.Yolande thinks that she would be 'letting herself go'if she went barefaced.

Sylvia runs the local WI.She is lovely to everyone,but won't hesitate to gossip about them as soon as there back is turned.

Camilla left her little job in London,when she married Robert,who works in high finance.They have a 'little' house in the country where she spends most of her time riding horses.Occasionally she will do some consultancy work,just to keep her name in circulation.

Brian sits behind his net curtains to check if his neighbour is doing any gardening.

If he is, Brian will rush out and mow the lawn.

Brian moved to the country to retire. He is currently suing his other neighbour for keeping hens, as they make a noise.

He tried to sue the local farmer for keeping cows, but the farmer came after him with a gun.

sallysparrow · 18/07/2007 22:03

Brian and morris are both on the Parish council.

Their meetings make the Vicar of Dibley look sane.
