Simon Price
Played by Richard Glover
Simon, 43, is a violent bully who terrorizes his family; wife Ruth, and sons Arf and Paul. As a result, they all live in constant fear of his rages. He calls Arf 'Pizza Face' on account of his acne, and refers to Paul as 'Pauline' (who suffers from endless nosebleeds), because he is such a 'little girl'.
Always on the look out to make a cheap buck, Simon is resentful of his lot in life. Unsurprsingly, he hates his good natured half-brother Barry, who seems to have done so much better than him.
