Game.On.S01E03.

Matthew Malone -- acutely agoraphobic and slightly insane. It is implied that shortly before the start of the series, Matthew's parents died in a car accident, meaning that he fears the outside world and has inherited his flat and enough money to need never work. Even passing his front door causes a panic attack but he always thought of himself as a cool guy; he had a surfboard despite his condition. Loves to use the word "tosser" and the phrase "double hard bastard" and in an ongoing gag throughout the entire series would mock his flatmate Martin for being ginger. Despite describing himself as a "double hard bastard," he secretly enjoys things that could be characterised as "effeminate," such as 1940s "love story" movies and Emmerdale Farm.

Martin Henson -- a banker without attitude, Matthew's slave and source of entertainment. His sister is Claudia, and by extension, is a few years younger than Mandy, and has known Mandy since they were kids.

Mandy Wilkins -- ambitious career girl who finds herself going nowhere except to bed with an endless stream of men (northern by preference). Many of the men she sleeps with, she is not particularly attracted to, and there are hints throughout the series that she is simply addicted to sex (she tries during the second series to abstain from sex entirely). In early episodes there were running gags involving Mandy's history of childhood bedwetting (which did not cease until she was 13). Despite earning a degree at university, she is stuck in temporary secretarial jobs, and envies her best friend Claudia, who did the same things Mandy did but is going places.
