Production Concept: Initial Character Profiles

Character List Tony The main protagonist for the series. An 19 year old lad, brown hair, blue eyes, average height, clean shaven, fresh out of college, with a HNC in Electrical Installation. He is fairly bright when it comes to the theoretical side of his subject, but comes somewhat unstuck when it comes to the practical side of it. The series follows him as he tries in vain to get a variety of jobs after leaving college, but after various disasters is sacked from each and every one of them. These disasters however, would not have happened without the aid of his two best mates, see below. Mike Tony’s oldest friend, and fiercely loyal to him. He is perhaps not the brightest person on the planet, but he will stick by his friends through thick and thin, even if he is not always entirely sure why. He is the same age as Tony, but differs somewhat in appearance. He is a tad on the fat side, has blonde hair and brown eyes, and a rather comedic attempt at a beard, which is a constant source of ridicule towards him from Tony and Bert. He was well known and liked amongst his classmates at school for his laid back approach, even if this did result in an experiment in a Science lesson blowing up in his face, quite literally… Bert Bert started at the school that Tony and Mike attended later than them, as his parents moved to the area recently. He, like them, studied Electrical Installation at college, and has successfully passed it, though in dubious circumstances according to Tony and Mike, as he lacks any actual thinking ability. He is a short bloke, with mousey coloured hair and brown eyes, clean shaven, skinny. He is definitely the class clown, and is constantly struggling to understand what he is supposed to be doing, and is therefore almost always responsible for the various disasters that the threesome find themselves in. For example, in one episode, he was asked to do some wire stripping, and took this to mean stripping down to nothing whilst holding a piece of wire. Needless to say, this got the group kicked off the job they were working on, much to the annoyance of Tony and Mike, who expressed their displeasure with Bert by pushing him into a duckpond.
