Robert Snell

played by Graham Blockey

Description

Finding that the formerly rich seam of IT had dried up was quite a shock for Robert - and wife Lynda, too. The gap was eventually filled by his working as a high class odd job man, and by taking B&B guests at Ambridge Hall. His customers and most others find him a genial sort of chap. Lynda is not the easiest of women but he seems able to deal with her domineering nature admirably, so much so that she is often putty in his hands.
