REGINALD (REGGIE) ELLIOT
(Tony Kemp)
RESIDENT
Retired Bank Manager. Was about
eight or nine when he and his old schoolfriend, Cecil Smith, were fishing,
with some success. There was a large explosion like a firework, after which
the fish didn't bite. Reggie has only just realised that he hasn't seen
Cecil since, but can't think why. He thinks the whole UFO thing is a load
of baloney. He hates the damned hippies and fully supports the Friends
of Ravenswood. |
