The cast and the story

Sir Alan Sweetener is not a very nice boss, so there's a distinct air of trepidation when he calls the other board members (his sisters) and senior staff together for a meeting.

In the boardroom, we find:

  • Sir Alan Sweetener the Boss of Sweetener’s Sweet Things
  • Victoria Sweetener Sir Alan’s dowdy and dotty sister
  • Constance Sweetener Sir Alan’s dowdier and dottier sister
  • Nick Brewer the company's Accounts Manage
  • Hannah McCanna Purchasing Manager
  • Stella Remington Production Manager
  • Angela Darling from the Marketing Department
  • Toby Jugge a relatively junior member of staff from the Sales Office
  • Karen Underwood Sir Alan's long-suffering secretary
  • Inspector John Sherlock of the local constabulary
  • A Presenter who acts as master of ceremonies
