Matt Crawford

played by Kim Durham

Description

A slippery customer both in business and his private life, Matt isn't overly blessed with friends. Not that he's bothered. Mr Sincerity is at his happiest sealing money-making business deals, whether legitimate or ever-so-slightly crooked. Partner Lilian describes him as 'a balding, middle-aged man who over-estimates his attractiveness to younger women'. It could be argued that she's being over-generous but she loves him really. And that love has had a real test recently. The collapse of a dodgy mortgage company run with one time poker pal Stephen Chalkman left Matt facing a prison sentence for fraud.
