The Cast

	Jason: Hatched and raised in the North of England, Jason Sidney Twizzlethorpe III is a likable duck, despite his eccentricities (and with a name like that he's allowed a few). He has a tenuous relationship with his wealthy family, which mirrors his equally tenuous grip on reality. Jason is quite clever, but does insist on putting his own unique spin on things. Normally this means utilising his talents to further his oft-times outlandish schemes for fun and adventure (building a working time machine, for example). He has known Tom since he was a duckling, when he was able to surprise and confuse the poor moose just as much as he can now. Jason is also a coffee lover, and addiction that has caused problems more than a few times, usually followed by Tom enforcing a caffeine embargo.
	Tom: Thomas Henry Eustace Bishop and his parents were originally from Winnipeg, Canada. Initially raised there his family moved to the UK when Tom was only 5 years old. He was educated in England and decided to stay when his parents eventually returned to Canada. He remains in contact with them in spite of his mother’s disparaging manner. Tom’s family met and became friends with Jason’s family while in the UK. Both Tom and Jason grew up together as friends, helping Tom to become somewhat accustomed to Jason’s more peculiar nature. While he is often exasperated by Jason and is more level-headed, Tom has been known to come up with plans as outlandish and reckless. He also loves to cook, although he still requires practice in the kitchen. Tom is the owner of a small dinosaur named ‘Scruffy’.
	Scruffy: A small dinosaur from the Cretaceous Period of History. Scruffy was found and adopted by Tom and Jason when they found themselves in the Past after using Jason’s temperamental time machine. He now lives with Tom and Jason as their pet and is well looked after by Tom, who lavishes all manner of pet toys on him. Scruffy had a dog disguise made for him by Tom so that he could be taken for walks and to the vet without arousing suspicion that he was a dinosaur. Despite the usual demeanour of playful pet, Scruffy is a smart dinosaur who can perform all manner of tricks... for the right person. Jason is not one of these people, much to his annoyance.
	Toby: Jason’s friend Toby is a small raccoon. They became friends after meeting in a book club (which was disbanded soon after Jason joined and instigated an incident involving custard). Toby is a quiet person, rarely speaking out loud, but nevertheless has no problem in communicating his intentions with others. As with many other raccoons, Toby has an inherent cuteness which many find adorable. This attention-drawing cuteness has made Jason jealous on several occasions, but the two still remain friends. He is the person most likely to be found with Jason during one of his madcap schemes. First, because he finds it fun, and second, because the adorability of the raccoon is good for getting the two off the hook when things inevitably go wrong!
	Ben: Ben is a tortoise and initially a friend of Tom’s. He can still be found engaging in some of Jason’s adventures however and isn’t afraid to join in even the wildest of escapades. As well as partaking in the occasional card game with Tom, Ben is also the Dungeon Master of Jason’s role playing group.
	Greg: A grass snake from the South of England. He finds himself involved with several of Jason and Tom’s adventures mostly in a supportive role of some kind. He thinks about things a little more logically than most of Jason’s friends, but can still be swept up in the moment, abandoning that logic altogether.
	Kevin & Huey: Kevin is a cat who is prone to worry and hypochondria. He looks after Huey the dog which is where a lot of the stress he struggles to deal with comes from. Huey’s oblivious and naive nature leads him toward unsuspecting trouble and it’s usually Kevin who has to bail Huey out. Huey also suffers from a ‘slight’ drooling problem which has ruined many dry-clean clothes and several carpets.
