Character Summary
Roland lived beneath King's Cross railway station in The Ratcave . He had an infant brother called Little Reggie, and had a girlfriend: Glenis the Guinea Pig. His colleagues included dour Welsh technical whizz Errol the Hamster, and over-enthusiastic self-appointed "number one ratfan" Kevin the Gerbil, who supposedly came from Leeds and loved pink buckets. Claridge actually voiced all three main characters: Roland Rat, Errol the Hamster and Kevin The Gerbil; and they often appeared on screen together. Roland Rat's car 'the Ratmobile' is a bright pink 1953 Ford Anglia.
Roland was notable for his brash and confident personality, which writer Colin Bostock-Smith (who later took over the scripts) states was established by Claridge and writer Richard Curtis.
