The
quiet village of Bennachie nestles in the shadow of the mountain by
the Gaudie Burn. The area is steeped in history. It is said that it
was here that The Romans, led by Julius Agricola - Governor of Britain,
defeated the Caledonians under Chief Calgacus.
The
people however, remain proud .. and to this day, tales of a bygone
era are told by the locals who live and work in the little village
of Bennachie!
The
main characters in the village are:
Patrice
It`s
his world. He was born in the fifties and brought up by his mother
Daisy. His father had left home and deserted from the Gordon Highlanders
six months into his national service. The day before Patrice was
born his mothers premium bond number came up. This gave her the
chance to fulfil a lifelong ambition and open up Bennachie`s first
hairdresser`s shop Curl Up And Dye. Patrice now takes care
of his mother who is bedridden and stays in the flat above the
shop, it`s a Norman Bates relationship. Patrice`s life revolves
round Daisy and the shop, he is a millennium man with 1970s ideas
but deep in the crevices of his mind he realises he may be different
in many ways.
Daisy
Mother
of Patrice, hardly ever seen only heard. She's a chronic alcoholic
and hypochondriac who never leaves her bed. Constantly knocking
on the floor to her son in the shop below, her world is Patrice,
her Press & Journal, the TV and horse racing.
Nigel
Best
friend and flatmate of Patrice and slightly less camp. Nige' is
also his number one stylist. The pair are attracted to one another
but have stuck to their agreement when they moved into the flat
that they would remain celibate friends.
Bazil
(Big Baz)
The
oldest apprentice in the trade! He has been an apprentice since
1972 and has failed to pass a single exam. Patrice keeps him on
the payroll because of his faith that he will come good one day.
He has been banned from cutting and blowing but is allowed to make
tea and coffee, answer the phone, sweep up and run errands. He is
not thick but he thinks stupid.

Walter
fae Wartle
The
local village idiot and highly sexed handyman. Directly descended from
the Picts ... a local tribe which was part of the Caledonian force which
fought the Romans at Bennachie. Proud of his ancestry, his village,
good looks and massive member.

pal, Baz coming up
for air at the Uptown Baths!
