BubbleUK: Get to know the characters of ”Warren United”

Posted on April 15, 2014April 20, 2017 by John Schwarz

Trevor & Michael – Police horses Trevor and Michael are the police horses-stationed outside the ground every Saturday. They work together to give their views on matchday issues, and indeed any other subject that grabs their attention. They would sound pretty much like a Test Match commentary team except they manage to acheive the rare feat of being simultaneously well-spoken and foul- mouthed.

Warren’s mum lives with the family but is very independent. She has an active social life and an eventful love life (which Warren finds distasteful). She is determined to have a good time and doesn’t care what people think.

Warren Kingsley, an overweight kitchen salesman and fervent football fan. A loveable but hapless hero, juggles his two passions – football and family. Warren, aged 37 and ½, is a fan for all seasons and a bloke of two halves: both a devoted husband and dad and a diehard fan of Brainsford United, a chronically struggling club, known to its long- suffering fans as ‘The Meringues.’

Burger Al runs the lard and salt concession that our characters invariably stop at on their way to or from the ground. He’s a background character who occasionally catches our eye as he picks a burger off the floor and blows it clean before placing it in a bun. He also has a stock of zinging one-liners to undercut whatever conversation he’s just overheard.

Dillip is a sales manager at Kitchen Magic and is Warren’s best friend. When something confuses Warren, or disturbs him, it is Dillip who he turns to. As Warren is confused and disturbed much of the time, this happens quite a lot. This is not a bad course of action because Dillip is far more sensible than Warren and has a philosophical way of looking at everything the world throws in Warren’s direction.

Gavin is interested in a lot of things most boys aren’t too bothered with. Poetry, art, interior design, Barbra Streisand, Judy Garland, shoes, hair…the list is endless.

Ingrid first met Warren when he fell asleep drunk in her front garden in Eindhoven, the Netherlands after one of the Meringue’s rare moments in Europe. She felt sorry for him and has continued to do so ever since. She’s an intelligent woman and has a ready wit, which she usually deploys at Warren’s expense. He never takes offence though because he rarely understands.

Warren United premiers next Tuesday on iTV4 @ 10 pm, check your local listings.
