Description
Credited with the taming of the Ambridge shrew, Lucas has been a welcome steadying influence on his wife Kate. Being black South African, his first appearance in the village caused a bit of a stir in some quarters, notably with Kate's gran Peggy.

The pair have made a happy and successful life for themselves in Johannesburg, following the path of his career in journalism.
