• Born: 22 May 1957
• Status: Married
• Occupation: Pigman

Pigman Neil is down-to-earth and unpretentious - a little too down-to-earth for wife Susan, who still makes him remove shoes (and often mucky overalls) on entry to her pride and joy, Ambridge View. He made a good job of building the house, even though he had to take a loan from then boss Tom Archer.

Principled and somewhat stubborn, it took him a long time to accept Ed Grundy as daughter Emma's partner. No such problem with son Christopher's wife Alice, although he's not always comfortable as an in-law of the wealthy Aldridges.
