Author Avatar: Ron Rust, who owes the BBC £17,000 and has to write them a script to pay it off; he's writing a "sharp, satirical black comedy, with a bit of Chekhovian understated pathos". All of which describes the series' writer Andrew Davies. | |

Corrupt Corporate Executive: Jack Daniels, who takes over as Vice Chancellor in season 2. Bob Buzzard would so like to be one of these, but circumstances and his own limitations make him more of a Smug Snake. | |
