Captain Roger Thwaites (Actor)	Male	Caucasian-White	25-30	Captain Thwaites is charming, suave and thinks himself a bit of a ladies man. He finds the idea of battle and danger exciting, but he is not a sadist or trigger happy. He explains how to covertly arm yourself with nuclear weapons, and interviews Jane Persimmon about her personal collection.	3 days - Exp
General Sheffield Crabtree (Actor)	Male	Caucasian-White	40-50	General Crabtree presents this 'public information' film about the current state of the world's nuclear armament. He is a 'by the book' army man, who always follows the plan. His character is stuck in a Cold-War paranoid mentality, and occasionally verges on psychotic.	5 days - Exp
Mrs Jane Persimmon (Actor)	Female	Caucasian-White	32-37	Jane Persimmon wears a pastel twin-set and pearls. She is a vile Daily Mail-reading woman, who conceals a raging torrent of bile beneath a veneer of middle-class respectability. She explains to the viewer her personal collection of arms. There is every chance she will launch a first-strike offensive against Birmingham.	3 days - Exp
