Chad

Ex-military, hard-man and Andy McNab wannabe Chad is a staff writer on the magazine. Well, sort of... Rob ends up writing most of the columns because Chad isn't particularly bright, as he demonstrates when he struggles to pronounce some of the words in his own book.

A complete lad, Chad is pretty much only interested in two things: fighting and birds. For some strange reason Mike and Rob look to Chad for advice.

Chad also has a tendency to tell really long and disgusting stories.

Michelle

Michelle is the ball-busting editor of Filth magazine. She's scary, direct and to the point. She also always gets what she wants.

Michelle has placed a bet with Chad that she can take Mike's virginity and quickly demonstrates she will go to quite extreme and manipulative lengths to win. Mike looks scared, and with good reason!

Rob

Rob is a bit of a geezer. He's a natural lads mag writer, and can easily bang out an article about fast cars, war or breasts.

Rob has a problem: he is a bit of a serial masturbator and things have got so bad that he's now resorting to trying to knock one out in the open plan office whilst everyone else is in a meeting. He inevitably gets caught in the act.

Rob thinks Inga the new web designer is beautiful - but can he change his habits of a lifetime to win himself his first proper relationship?

Mike

Sweet Mike really isn't suited for working at Filth. He's very naive, quite sensitive and far too eager to please. He'd love to be writing about things like affordable housing, but Filth is a magazine about "tits, football, life-threatening injuries and more tits" so that's what he invariably ends up having to try and write about, despite having no knowledge of the fairer sex.

Mike is a virgin but is deeply in love with model Sam and would love to sleep with her. The trouble is he's not getting as far as he should because he is taking advice from Chad and listening to the false rumours Michelle is spreading.

Inga

Inga is the ultra cute new web designer in the office. Rob falls in love with her within just a few seconds of setting eyes on her.

Inga is foreign so English is not her first language. Rob soon realises that if he talks really fast she can't understand what he is saying - which is quite useful for him at times.

All is not quite as it seems with Inga though - she has a dark secret.

Sam

Sam is a "highstreet hottie" model for the magazine. She has no problem taking her top off for photos - in fact, she thinks it is quite classy.

Sam thinks Mike is sweet - but with Michelle spreading around rumours that Sam has a penis, Mike is a bit confused about whether he should take her for a date or not.

Yuki

Yuki is a quiet writer who sits in the corner of the office... we don't hear much from him, although at one point he does speak up to admit that he listens to the couple next door having sex... using a very powerful listening device.

Meg

Meg has a PHD in journalism but has somehow found herself working for £6 an hour at Filth. She's a bit angry, but probably rightfully so as she has to spend her whole day fielding questions from the leery male writers about her breasts.
