The cast also includes Sue Vincent as mechanic Gloria Beaushaw, Robin Askwith and Sue Holderness as the eccentric married couple Jeremy and Judith Lloyd James, and Alex Gaumond as Chief of Police André Caron. Tony Robinson and Paul Chuckle join the ensemble as Dom’s Uncle Patrick and Gloria’s father, Trevor, respectively.
