Lab Rats - Characters

Characters

The main characters are:

  • Doctor Alex Beenyman (Chris Addison): The unofficial head of the lab, Dr. Beenyman does his best to keep the others in control. He is the only sane member of the team but often ends up responsible for their actions.
  • Professor John Mycroft (Geoffrey McGivern): Officially in charge, Prof. Mycroft once won a Nobel Prize and has been living off it ever since. Spends a lot of his time drinking.
  • Cara McIlvenny (Jo Enright): A 4'11" (150 cm) lab assistant who's not always altogether 'there'. Although she has a talent for building machines, she does not appear to have much actual understanding of science, or of anything else. She is probably Alex's best friend within the lab.
  • Brian Lalumaca (Dan Tetsell): A rather unpleasant lab assistant, who enjoys weapons, traps, and anything else violent. He often finds himself involved in Prof. Mycroft's mad schemes. He harbours something of a crush on the Dean, but is constantly frustrated by her inability to remember his name or role.
  • Minty Clapper (Helen Moon): Secretary to Prof. Mycroft and Dr. Beenyman.
  • Dean Mieke Miedema (Selina Cadell): The Dean of St Dunstan's College. Dutch.
  • The Secretary (Margaret Cabourn-Smith) who is constantly being given onerous tasks by the Dean. She has very few spoken lines but is involved in various visual gags throughout the series.

    “Hemingway was a prisoner of his style. No one can talk like the characters in Hemingway except the characters in Hemingway. His style in the wildest sense finally killed him.”
    —William Burroughs (b. 1914)

    “What makes literature interesting is that it does not survive its translation. The characters in a novel are made out of the sentences. That’s what their substance is.”
