* RoguishRomani: Ray Von is a carnival gypsy who Brian hires as his new DJ after he fixes the Phoenix's powercut. Afterwards, he finds out that Ray "fixed" the power by connecting it to a lamp post, so when Max accidentally pulls the cord, the power goes off again. Additionally, Les and Alan tell Brian that Ray killed his former girlfriend Tracey Burns and left her head in a wheely bin. That and Ray's apparent NightmareFetishist interest in murderous things(such as Franchise/HannibalLecter) make Brian deeply suspicious of Ray, until he finds out that Tracey is in fact still alive, and those rumors of murder were just that, rumors, because Les and Alan were trolling him.
** Also, Ray's friends, The Gypsy Kings, one of whom serves as a face painter at the family fun day, and ends up applying tiger-themed face paint that never comes off. The rest of them compete in the pub quiz for a year's supply of Kamikaze lager, and end up winning, though they're never confirmed to have cheated. [[spoiler:No wonder Brian backed them instead of the inept Team Phoenix]].
