Recurring
Jenny Stephens
Paints manager in a DIY store, she’s 29, lives in Penmound, is very tidy, an avid people-watcher and is best friends with Nigel, who she also wants to throttle at times. She’s always up for a road trip, loves detective stories, and listens to London Grammar and Lana del Rey
Nigel Bellroy
A layabout, according to his grandmother, he’s 31, writes short stories, is a pub regular, can be presentable when he tries (which isn’t often), and is passably bad at cooking. He reads science fiction, and listens to a range of things from John Mayer, to 80s and 90s rock
Liz Benning

David Marston
An RAF Group Captain, he’s 32, heads up an airbase in Scotland, has a double first from Oxford University, and is such a coffee snob, he even has a favourite, professional-grade machine. He competes in triathlons, reads sports autobiographies, and listens to AC/DC
Erica McBride
An ambitious journalist, she’s 34, writes a weekly column about bizarre stories from around the world, and lives with her wife near Inverness city centre. She loves the Victorian Market, drives an old, green Mini, enjoys podcasts like S-Town, and listens to Michael Bublé

Gran
Gran, as friends and family know her, is a loving matriarch to children and grandchildren alike. A fan of crosswords and sudoku, she lives in the Cambridgeshire village of Wensbridge and has instilled into her whole family, that morning coffee is always at 11:00 and lunch is always at 1 o'clock
Dr Jess Williams
Jess is a young but brilliant physicist with a ready smile and a preference for white, high-top Converse All-Stars. Based at Crianloch, she is particularly adept at seeing patterns in data and constantly frustrates her manager with analogies about helicopters and jelly
The Director General of MI5, The UK Defence Secretary & various official personnel
A secretive group of individuals who task to find out what's gone wrong in the world, parallels that of the recurring characters, but who finds the answer first?
And ...
As well as this motley crew, you also meet Steve and Grant, the IT experts for whom Liz Benning is the bane of their lives, and the local gossip, who's so good at passing the word around, that's earned a very special nickname
