  Old Arthur
Played by Russ Abbot

Old Arthur
Arthur was born about sixty years too early. He doesn't want to be in a retirement home. He wants to be off bungee jumping and going to illegal raves. He wants a stir fry and an X box and if he doesn't have them within the hour he's calling social services.

Likes: anything that young people like.
Dislikes: being patronised.
Dark secret:When he was seven he wanted to hunt polar bears in the icy tundra of the Hudson Bay.


Old Arthur
Most likely to say: "Don't think I don't know what's going on. I've seen the telly. Delia and Nigella and Jamie bloody Oliver. Ainsley Harriot and his wok. You lot out there are having baltis and risottos and I get boiled potatoes!"
Least likely to say: "Humbugs! My favourite."
