Sid Perks
played by Alan Devereux
Description
Difficult though it is to imagine salt-of-the-earth, traditional Sid in the arms of sultry Jolene, their marriage seems to truck along in enviable harmony, the chemistry between them as strong today as it was when they got together in the shower in 2000. Team Perks works well in The Bull too, pulling in the punters with their winning combination of traditional fare and lively innovation. Their enduring fondness for one another gets them through all the usual trials and tribulations of marriage more smoothly than most. Sid still can't believe his luck.
