MIKE
played by Martin
Freeman |
|
|
Mike is a blunt and grumpy DIY fanatic who works in Rex's
shop. He tries unsuccessfully to avoid the laddish chat but
often gets sucked in. Currently dating Anne, he displays a
more sensitive side to his nature when at home with her, though
their relationship still suffers the normal ups and downs
of modern love. Martin Freeman (from "The
Office") plays Mike; he does a good job but seems
somewhat on cruise control.

KENNY
played by Peter
Serafinowicz |
 |
Smug, worldly and slightly dim Kenny spends most of his time
distracted from his main job. He does find time in episode
six of the first series to build a large luxury house for
little rodents though.
Comedy newcomer Peter Serafinowicz plays the part excellently.

REX
played by Ken
Morley |
|
DIY shop owner and boss Ken thinks he is in charge
but really has no say over anything. Despite his age he has
a juvenile obsession with sex which probably has something to
do with his 40 year marriage that isn't going too well. |
STEVE
played by Ryan
Cartwright |
|
Part-time trainee Steve is a student who manages
to cause many problems, partly due to being rather clumsy and
pre-occupied. Being quite naïve, innocent and intelligent
the hardware shop probably isn't the best place for him to spend
his time. |
ANNE
played by Susan
Earl |
|
Anne is Mike's girlfriend and the owner of the
local coffee shop where the boys hang out. |
JULIE
played by Ella
Kenion |
|
Julie is Anne's friend and colleague. She is
big, bubbly and a bit surely at times. When it comes to relationships
rather "easy". |
