George White (Martin Clunes)
Head of the White household. Reporter on the local newspaper, George
is bored with his job, and questions whether or not there is more to
life.
Jane White (Fay Ripley)
Loving housewife and mother, tries hard to keep the peace at home between
her kids. Very houseproud and clean.
Jessica White (Clare Thomas)
Aged 13. Curious and daring, very independent and a bit of a tomboy.
She doesn't like being told what to do, and is scared of very little!
As any big sister should, she revels in scaring the wits out of little
brother Tom.
Tom White (Charlie Hicks)
Aged nine. Slightly meek and incessantly curious, especially about
Bogeymen, the thought of which terrifies him.
