LORD HARRY STOCKRESSY: Lord of the realm and owner of beautiful ‘Stockressy Hall’. He is a shrewd businessman with investments in many fields and he loves village life.  An eccentric character he is never seen without his monocle. He is wearing his favourite white dinner jacket with a red bow tie and cummerbund. His slicked jet black hair is in stark contrast to his light brown moustache.

 

LADY ARIMINTA STOCKRESSY: The long suffering wife of Harry and mother to their fourteen children. She is never seen without her designer labels or jewels and her red hair is piled high on her head. She does not work but is involved with lots of charities. She calls everyone darling but often upsets the villagers with her caustic comments. She wears a classic black evening dress, long black gloves and her best diamonds.

 

DUNCAN DISORDERLY: Best friend of Harry since their schooldays. Duncan’s family own a brewery and a chain of pubs but he never seems to work. He is fond of a tipple or ten and gets louder with every drink. He is married but never takes his wife to any social functions. Quite a boisterous character, he is a fashion victim and wears a flamboyant bow - tie with his DJ.

CARMEL HUMP: Stunning exotic dancer and actress who has a holiday home in the village and often uses it as a hidey hole to escape the media. She is very buxom and wears a tight red dress and pashmina. Her long black curls are held to the side with her trademark fresh pink rose - picked from the garden that morning.

 

IAN DE DARK: Carmel’s boyfriend and multi millionaire. His olive skin and dark curly hair are always the first thing you notice but no one is quite sure where he comes from or how he got his money.  His DJ looks like it has seen better days and he has a cigar tucked into his pocket. He sips from his silver hip flask throughout the evening.

 

MAJOR LUKE TWICE: Retired army major and landowner. He runs the family farm and estate with an iron rod.  He carries a cane everywhere and speaks to everyone as if they are under his command. He wears his tuxedo with his medals hanging proudly on his chest. His grey hair is slicked back and his half moon glasses are perched on the end of his nose.

 

MONA LITTLEMORE: Luke’s fifth wife who models herself on a fifties actress and believes she is the epitome of true glamour. She has never quite got used to village life and yearns to return to the city. She complains to anyone who will listen. She is always overdressed and tonight she is wearing a long white dress and the highest silver shoes you have ever seen. Her long blonde hair hangs loosely down her back and a white boa completes her look.

 

LADY EVELYN TENT – Younger sister of Araminta. She is petite and dresses conservatively, wearing a dark purple dress and her favourite string of white pearls. Her hair is cut into a neat brown bob and she carries a silver bag which never leaves her sight. She is single but is more interested in jam making competitions than men!
