Characters
Joe Cockwell is a sarcastic, intelligent yet embarrasing character who expresses his feelings in the most hilarious yet stupid ways. Yet as a new boy he is outgoing and in the first series is made the gang's reluctant leader.

Stevie Nash is an openly incest character. Stevie however is calm, cocky and at times boisterous making his character rebellious at the worst of times. Stevie is mercilessly picked on and insulted for being inbred by bullies and heavily indulges in sex and alcohol.

Danny Lester is a sweet-natured yet effeminate goth who skateboards and is Stevie's best friend. There is much debate over his sexuality but it is rumoured that he is bisexual. Danny is called 'a batty emo' by Stevie's bullies at frequent times yet he has deep feelings for Shannon Baltazar a new girl who appears in series two.

Adam Tucket is obsessed with sex and likes to boast about his 'experiences' with girls. He even talks like a chav in the third episode so no-one will pick on him yet his efforts fail. The group strongly dislike Adam for the embarrassment he inflicts. It is revealed he is Autistic.

Nick Hicks is a heavy drug abuser who is mostly seen stoned or staring into space. He is perhaps the most forgetful character in the gang and lacks social skills. However he is incredibly intelligent and sensitive.
