Bernard Snell
Bernard is an
individual troubled by a lifelong identity crisis. Having hatched from a
large egg, he caught sight of his reflection in a lake and noticed he
had a bill. However, when he attempted to befriend the local duckling
population they seemed intent only on bullying him, so he dejectedly waddled off on his own. During his long, lonely waddle, he was struck by
the realisation that he was four-legged, and after a while concluded
that he must be a platypus. Following an emotionally-charged inner
journey of self-discovery, he eventually came to terms with his place in the
world of aquatic creatures. It was then that he hit adolescence, and
began to realise he was gay...
Mr Brockwell
Mr
Brockwell is a very angry badger. If you ask him why he's so angry,
he'll tell you that just being a badger is enough to make anyone
bloomin' furious, and that if you don't believe him you should try it
sometime. He is the manager of Brockwell Tours, a travel agency that
operates from a dusty room on premises he shares with Dr Fangleschnard,
the local taxidermist. It goes without saying that Brockwell's
encounters with the taxidermist generally exacerbate his anger quite
dramatically. His sett is directly beneath the taxidermist's rickety
shop, and, unbeknown to both of them, Brockwell's constant burrowing is
gradually undermining the building's foundations.
