A shrewd man he sees an opportunity of exploiting "Arwell the Elephant-man" and converting the parlour into a freak-show called "The Undertakers From Hell" (2.2).

They are the joint father of their daughter, Sian played by Wendy Wason who becomes a love interest to both Arwell and Percy in the two shows that she appears in.

Harrison Ford Local newsagent, purveyor of "MAGS 'N' FAGS" as displayed above his shop in the font from "Raiders of the Lost Ark".

The character charges extortionate prices for his goods and has an unhealthy habit of trying to sell inappropriate items from the top shelf to his younger customers, often through innuendo.

He is often given "mucky" freebies by Ford, and is eventually extorted by him on his birthday when he mistakenly buys some "penny" chews marked up as "pound" sweets.

PC Hertz (played by Kai Owen) does most of the talking whilst his sidekick Boone (Mark Fleischmann) is more interested in collecting the autographs of the dead, such as Mr Boubes.

He is partial to taking back-handers for the church roof fund, happily swapping the coffins in a "Dog Dango Afternoon" (2.6) thus allowing Percy to swindle his family out of the proceeds of a bank robbery.

A bottle of "Paul Daniels Magic Whisky" is poured during 2.3 and then in 2.6 we see a large inspirational poster of the man pinned up in the hotel room of failed magician Clifford Daxon.

He also represents the "World famous "Davy G" Music Maestro (as seen on TV in 1983)" and a newly signed up Queen tribute band, "The Thomas Brothers from Trebanos".

Fernando Thomas and her midget partner, Rocky The boys' mother is first mentioned in show 1.1 where she is said to have run off with a movie star (well an Oompa-Loompa from the Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory film) some 25 years ago.

However, when he recognises the smell of "lobster, olive oil and sweat" in 2.6 what appears to be the reality is very different as Anita Dobson returns as his tall, attractive estranged wife.

Accompanied by Rocky (Christopher Ryan) her orange skinned, green haired Oompa-Loompa sized partner, she has come home and now wants to get a divorce after nearly 25 years apart.

Wooing her to try and keep his boys and the family business, Ivor reveals some intimate facts about Fernando such as her hairy chest and armpits, along with a mole on her left shoulder that puts him off his Coco Pops.

Fernando and Rocky are really a pair of very well researched con artists called Chiquitita and O'Ryan, who want to make money for their sponge project that "exfoliates, conditions and bumps at the same time".

Mrs Marion Boubes Played by Joanna Scanlan, she appears in 1.1 and is the wife of the first person to die in the series, the aptly named Dai.

Her grief does not appear to last that long as she has an enjoyable liaison with Ivor in the funeral parlour whilst on a visit to see her husband in the chapel of rest.

Father Titmus The Irish priest of St Barney's Church who incorrectly predicts that the beast rampaging the village in 1.2 is the devil's child who is being looked after by the American ambassador.

The lighting scene from The Omen is then partially reenacted but sadly Father Titmus's predictions are wrong and he does not meet his destiny and die via the "Act of God" but rather falls victim to the first attack (seen during the show) of the hound that appears throughout the rest of this episode.

He expresses an interest in working alone but appears to have a sidekick with a weak heart called Dirk, who is killed off by Quimby's deadly breath.

Requiring further help he employs the Thomas lads to be his cabin boys and discovers that like Percy, Quimby has an interest in dirty books and using of KY jelly.

To help in the capture of Rodger, Percy makes him a girlfriend called "Lisa" for £2.50 ("50 bob") out of bits of fur, wood, plastic feet and some old castors.

A blender is cleverly hidden in her "Calcutta" to trap the randy Rodger, this addition clearly works as first Ivor and then Larry become ensnared by Lisa.

Burry Port Lighthouse (home to Dudley Sutton's character Bentley Nimmo) and the town's yacht club are unmistakable in "Marooned" the fourth show in series 2.

Series 2 was left open-ended with the supposedly dead character Marshall Jeepster JR III disappearing at the end, his sidekick Bilko uttering that "I can see this happening another 7 times".

In the words of Issac Hunt "Here's to the first day of the rest of your lives" This theory would be OK as most episodes are stand alone, however, this does not work out for the timeline of the boys' mother Fernando Thomas as her length of absence from the family is mentioned in both series.

This being the "Hall" in the village of LLANSAWEL with the words carved into the walls of the building In episode 2.6 there is a small amount of Spanish used when Fernando Thomas turns up, most of this is translated by Rocky.
