North Norfolk Digital
Staff
Pat
Pat Farrell
Played By: Colm Meaney
An Irish radio DJ at North Norfolk Digital who, after being fired by the new owners, returns with a shotgun bent on revenge.
- Affably Evil: Pat might be the Big Bad, but he's also a genial fellow who spends a fair chunk of the hostage situation chilling with Alan and playing music requests for his beloved viewers. At times, he seems to forget he's even in a hostage situation, leaving his shotgun unattended in front of his hostages several times.
- Anti-Villain: Type II. He's not really evil, he's just snapped from the death of his wife combined with getting fucked over by his bosses.
- Big Bad: Of Alpha Papa; he takes several employees of North Norfolk Digital hostage, instigating the events of the film.
- Fighting Irish: He loses his temper and takes over the radio studio with a shotgun. Alan actually brings up the fact that Pat is Irish to get away from the studio.
- The Mourning After: Pat still grieves for his wife, Molly.
- Sanity Slippage: After getting fired from his job at North Norfolk Digital, he gets very...shotgunny.
- Shotguns Are Just Better: His weapon of choice.
- Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: A veteran DJ and widower who is callously fired by his heartless new bosses. He has nothing else to live for beside his job, and the loss of it makes him feel entirely worthless.
Jason
Jason Tresswell
Played By: Nigel Lindsay
- Asshole Victim: A non-fatal example when he's tasered by a disgruntled employee whom he stabbed in the back.
- Bad Boss: Jason is a dick to his employees who he sees as expendable unless he can use them for his own ends.
- The Bully: Toward his employees, whom he treats like shit unless he thinks he can make money off them.
- Greater-Scope Villain: His actions set off Pat's rampage, and his general behavior causes problems.
- Hate Sink: A key reason that he exists is so that Alan looks like a decent human being when standing next to him.
- Jerkass: Jason is just a basic asshole, only seeing people as tools to manipulate. He cruelly taunts Pat when he gets the drop on him.
Angela
Angela Ashbourne
Played By: Monica Dolan
- Birds of a Feather: She's Alan's first love interest who seems to go beyond being a Lust Object; they connect because she's just as socially awkward and weird as he is.
- Official Couple: With Alan at the end of Alpha Papa and Mid Morning Matters Series 2, at the end of which she breaks things off when Alan flirts with a co-worker.
Danny
Danny Sinclair
Played By: Dustin Demri-Burns
- Jerkass: Danny is smug, arrogant and treats the older DJs like shit.
