Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps TWO PINTS

Louise Brooks

Louise Brooks (Kathryn Drysdale) Possibly the squeakiest woman in the world, Louise is loud, annoying and always craves the centre of attention.

Just about tolerated by Janet and Donna, she is consistently dreaming up harebrained schemes to try and ensure the focus remains firmly on her - from declaring she is an alcoholic (then holding her AA meetings in the pub) to changing Jonny's profile in the Office of National Statistics to say he is an armed criminal (resulting in him getting shot in the knee).

In fact, on occasion it seems that Louise doesn't need to create drama, it actively seeks her out, and this was certainly the case when she found out she was adopted, and in turn that her biological dad was gay. Just what will happen to her next?

Gaz Wilkinson
played by Will Mellor

Gaz Wilkinson (Will Mellor) Gaz is a traditional 'lad' whose life revolves around sex, beer, sex, football and er... more sex.

He works as a mechanic at Brindley Autos, which was the scene of his mission to become 'fit' again after gaining weight when splitting from Donna. We'll just not go into what solo activity he enjoyed in abundance to accomplish that mission!

After enjoying a fairly on-off relationship with Donna, the two finally seem ready to commit even though Gaz recently found out he was "firing blanks". Suffering from a strange phobia of sheep, let's hope the two never decide to move to the countryside.

Donna Henshaw
played by Natalie Casey

Donna Henshaw (Natalie Casey) One of the more promiscuous members of the group, Donna is loud, brassy and sarcastic. She also has a bit of a temper on her (once killing an ex-boyfriends budgie), and will readily argue with anyone.

After many ups and downs, she is now engaged to Gaz - although, much to Gaz's disgust, she is not very excited about the wedding. Will becoming a married couple help their relationship run more smoothly, or will it just cause them more trouble?

Janet Keogh (nee Smith)
played by Sheridan Smith

Janet Smith (Sheridan Smith) Janet could be described as a bit of a Chav, what her her scrunched back hair and 'unflattering' tracksuits. However, she is a family girl at heart and will do anything for her son and husband... even if she did once have a one-night stand with Gaz!

Usually loud and bubbly, Janet's life has recently been hit by a devasting tragedy - just how will she cope as a single mum?

Jonny Keogh (Series 1 - 6)
played by Ralf Little

Jonny Keogh (Ralf Little) Jonny Keogh was a man who enjoyed the simple things in life - spending quality time with his wife Janet and son Corinthian, putting the world to rights with Gaz in the Archers and above all, partaking in the fine art of eating biscuits (in particular the Jammy Dodger).

Almost constantly unemployed, Jonny enjoyed daytime television and was completely devoted to Janet, even forgiving her for having a one night stand with his best mate Gaz. Sweet and loyal, it could be argued that he had a strong feminine side. Whatever you did though, you didn't call him gay as he then wasn't responsible for his actions!

Jonny died in 2007 after he won a competition to go shark-jumping in Hawaii.

Flo Henshaw (Series 1-3)

Flo Henshaw (Beverley Callard) Floella Henshaw, the thinking man's strumpet, loves sex, sex and more sex. She also likes to stand in front of the window naked and the word "valves". When she was a girl she used to amuse herself by painting giant willies on toilet doors!

Other Regular Characters
Munch (Series 3 - 5 & 7)
played by Lee Oakes

Munch is Gaz's half brother he never new about. He's a bit of a "yogurt" and is not allowed to hang around people too much. He'd love to find a girlfriend but has to make do with the girl with sick on her on a Friday night!

Corinthian McVitie Keogh (Series 5+)
played by Lewis Vilamor, Jamie Ryde-Weller and Zoe Ryde-Weller

One of the newest additions to Two Pints land, Corinthian is the son of Janet and Jonny. In his short life he has already been involved in some drama, what with no-one originally knowing who his real father was (initially it was thought to be Jonny however a later DNA test revealed the father was actually Gaz). It looks as if poor Corinthian has quite a lot more difficulties ahead of him!

Kelly (Series 4 - 6)
played by Hayley Bishop

Former barmaid of the Archer, Kelly provided the older men among the clientele with all the fun and exercise they would ever need! Regularly taking them down to the cellar to exchange some STI's.

Kelly's priorities did change for a while when Gaz became single. In fact she adopted Donna's whole persona to try and win his affections. When that didn't work, she returned to the men that needed her most - the regulars in the pub!

David Fish (Series 3-4)
played by Jonathon Dutton

In series three Louise gets a secret admirer who turns out to be a geeky guy from school who's turned into a rather good looking bloke with a funny accent. Which as something to do with the fact he's been living in Melbourne for the last eight years!
