Archie Leach:
Man, 30s-50. Cockney. Sound engineer. Down-to-earth, and quick with a quip. Plays the guitar. Loves to sing cowboy songs – and knows quite a few of them.
Miles Shadwell:
Man, 30s. Intense young producer. If he weren’t so neurotic, he’d be a nice guy.
Leslie Briggs-Stratton:
Man, 40s/50s. Imperious snob of a BBC announcer, a la George Sanders.
Clive Cooper:
Man, 40s/50s. Radio announcer. Clive IS the “Salty Fish ‘n’ Chips Man”, and really thinks he’s a great actor.
Mabel Halliday:
Woman, 20s/30s. Tex Riley’s tour manager. Wallflower who is used to being behind the scenes.
Stan:
Man, 30s/40s. Sound effects man. Buster Keaton-like, this shell-shocked veteran is a man of few words.
