Character guide
Dan
Dan, the elder of the brothers at 25 years of age, is an uptight ball of neuroticism.
He is a sarcastic joker, and is forever trying to get the upper hand on his live wire work colleague Poppy.
Toby
Scruffy 23 year-old Toby is described as a "naïve sweetheart". Alongside his uptight brother Dan, he is looking after his little brother Jamie. Well, sort of.
Toby is as laid back as you can be, and has an eye for the ladies. He is hoping to get together with Jamie's gorgeous school teacher Miss Pemberton.
Jamie
13 year old Jamie hasn't said a word since his mother died.
He is now being looked after by his brothers, but they're not the best of carers in the world. Their polar opposite parenting styles constantly clash, with Jamie stuck in the middle.
Miss Pemberton
Miss Pemberton teaches Jamie at school.
She is very good looking - something that has not escaped the attention of Toby! But they've already done things, ahem, the wrong way around. Now can he get her to agree to go on a date?
Poppy
Poppy is a magazine journalist and Dan's work colleague. She is quite a live-wire... will Dan ever win in their battles?
Auntie Debbie
Meddling Auntie Debbie feels she should have, rightfully, been given custody of young Jamie, and so in fact seems more concerned with his welfare and upbringing than with that of her own son, Christopher!
She's often dropping around to the boys' flat to criticise Toby and Dan's parenting skills, but on occasion does save the day when they come a little bit unstuck.
