The Peter Principle (TV series)

Characters

• Peter Duffley, Branch Manager – Lazy and inept, Peter doesn't seem to take his job too seriously but manages to keep his position and is terrified of the idea of Assistant Manager Susan having any power at the branch.
• Susan Harvey, Assistant Manager – Career-minded and dedicated, Susan seems to be the person actually running the branch.
• David Edwards, Area Manager – David is dedicated to County and Provincial, and knows that Peter doesn't give the job his all, but has a soft spot for him.
• Geoffrey Parkes, Chief Cashier – Geoffrey has been with the bank all his working life has little regard or time for Peter. He has his ear to the ground but seems happy not to have climbed to a position of greater responsibility and higher stress.
• Bradley Wilson, Junior Cashier – Tech-savvy but not very intelligent, Bradley always obeys Peter out of a sense of fear.
• Iris, Secretary/Chief Clerk – Iris is middle-aged, quite dim, but appears very competent in her position.
• Brenda, Cashier – Brenda regards her position at the bank as little more than a pay packet.
• Barbara, Secretary/Chief Clerk – Barbara's view of women in the workplace is that they should endeavour to sleep their way to the top. She fails to understand that Susan wishes to climb the ladder on merit alone.
• Evelyn Walker, Cashier – After appearing in series 1 as a charity worker, Evelyn works for the bank in series 2. She suffers from bad nerves and spends almost as much time on the phone to the Samaritans as she spends doing her work duties.
