Jock is the local postman.
He lives at Dores Post Office,
(Britain’s smallest at only 12
square feet). His daily delivery
route takes him right around the
perimeter of Loch Ness. He
generally calls at Thyme Castle
about 9.30 am. Justin is usually
waiting with a stick of Edinburgh
rock for Fergus, the postman’s
trusty Scottie dog.

Hank and Polly are Lady Henny’s film crew. Polly does the
sound recording and Henny’s makeup, whilst Hank does the
filming, carries her ladyship’s baggage and drives them on
location in his battered old Jeep.

They have worked with Henny since the very first episode of
Thyme-Zone, and were filming the day she rescued Eliza the
gorilla. Eliza adores them both, and frequently assists with
their never-ending practical jokes ... much to Henny’s dismay.

Hank and Polly have known each other since meeting at primary
school 21 years ago. Polly tied their teacher’s shoelaces together
and released a dozen white mice in the classroom; Hank got
the blame ... and they’ve been the best of enemies ever since!

Sergeant Awbrite and PC Knox are two of the local
police. Awbrite first meets the Thymes when he is
asked to trace a stolen Rolls Royce. However, he
soon finds himself investigating a kidnap, swiftly
followed by something far more sinister.

Gavin Knox is his young constable. Scarcely
old enough to drive, he spends half of his time
being ordered around by Awbrite - the rest either
counting his pimples or day-dreaming about fish,
chips and mushy peas!
