Other characters include Mark Penwarden played by Hugo Speer, and Fin Morgan, played by Johnny Briggs.

Locations

The programmes are fimed at Looe and Polperro in South East Cornwall, as well as Watergate Bay, in North Cornwall.However, in Echo Beach, characters are seen on the beach at Watergate Bay on one shot, turn a corner and appear over 30 miles away in Looe in a couple of seconds, as all locations are meant to be in Polnarren, rather than their actual positions in Cornwall. Interior scenes (for example in character Jonathan Pope's office) are filmed at studios near Chertsey, west of London. Nancy's office is filmed at the ITV studios in London as you can see out of the window the local landmarks
