Nigel Parks is a great guy. He works as a surveyor, is on the school P.T.A and plays a key role in local government. He lives in a nice house in Buckinghamshire with his wife, Anne, and his three children. He drives a silver Audi and listens mostly to classical music, with a bit of Phil Collins thrown in at weekends. He displays a reassuring level of calm at all times, and he and Anne have barely had a cross word in 34 years.

The Sultan of Somewhere
This poor mouse was born with the embarrasing affliction of having excessive facial hair. Mercilessly bullied his whole life he was forced into a role of servitude and degradation. He could have been beaten, but instead he devised a brilliant and cunning escape plan for himself.

Firstly they had to downsize to a pokey little cave on the shady side of the mountain. Then she had to give up her collection of sealskin hats. But worst of all, she was persuaded to resign from her position as chair of the 'Ladies Afternoon Club'.

Le Cirque Bonjour! …a hat creation
Pierre the Ringmaster has been married to Marguerite the Lion Tamer for over 30 years, though he knows she has always had eyes for Joze, the Mexican Strongman. This, combined with a general lack of enthusiasm for life, has led him to seek comfort in the arms of absinthe.
