Roy
Played by: Matt Lucas
Appearances: Radio Show; Since Series 1, in all but one sketch with Mr Mann
Catchphrase: Roy's catchphrase is a conversation with his wife:
- Roy: (Following Mr Mann's request) "Oh, I’m not sure, Margaret will know. (turns to the back of the store) Margaret! Margaret!"
- Margaret: (after a long pause) "Yes?"
- Roy: "There’s a gentleman here looking for (then repeats Mr Mann's request, often verbatim.)"
- These lines are often followed with Margaret suggesting a product which Roy may have in stock, much to his own surprise, and which Mr Mann may then refuse for some trivial reason.
Roy owns a store (that sells different items each episode) where Mr Mann always shops. His wife Margaret helps run the store but is never seen. He has, on at least one occasion, stated that he hates Mr Mann because of his specific requests. The long pause between Roy's calling to Margaret and her response was referenced in one sketch when, as soon as Roy had called to Margaret, he and Mr. Mann both sat down, to read their books while waiting for her response.

“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched seabeams glitter in the dark near the Tennhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time like tears in rain. Time to die.”
