- Drunk Sloane, (played by Helen Lederer) An attractive but stupid woman who props up the wine bar and delivers monologues to camera.
- Bernard and Miriam, (played by Gregor Fisher and Helen Lederer) a repressed middle-aged couple.
- Bitter Divorcee Lizzie, (played by Elaine C Smith) an attractive 30-something woman who (like Drunk Sloane) delivers monologues about her divorce, only from her bedroom, not a wine bar.
- Highlander Angus, (played by Gregor Fisher) A Gaelic TV presenter for the OHBC (Outer Hebrides Broadcasting Corporation).
- The Baldy Man, (played by Gregor Fisher) a vain halfwit with but a few strands of hair across his head. The character was spun off into a separate series. The show was produced and directed by Colin Gilbert who was also working with Fisher on Rab C. Nesbitt.
- Siadwell, (played by John Sparkes) a geeky Welsh poet. (He had appeared previously in the Radio 4 show, Bodgers Banks and Sparkes.)
- Rab C Nesbitt, (played by Gregor Fisher) an alcoholic Glaswegian stereotype who wears a string vest, a pinstripe suit and a grubby headband. He was arguably the most popular character, and also received his own series and became Scotland's most successful sitcom. The show was produced and directed by Colin Gilbert and written by Ian Pattison.

Famous quotes containing the words regular and/or characters:
“My attitude toward punctuation is that it ought to be as conventional as possible. The game of golf would lose a good deal if croquet mallets and billiard cues were allowed on the putting green. You ought to be able to show that you can do it a good deal better than anyone else with the regular tools before you have a license to bring in your own improvements.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“Trial. A formal inquiry designed to prove and put upon record the blameless characters of judges, advocates and jurors.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
