OLIVER (played by Richard Mylan)

Sci-fi store owner Oliver is the ultimate Doctor Who geek. Recently (over a year ago) single again, Oliver revels in the freedom of being single with a big screen TV and unedited living room.

But he wants more, and top on his list is a date with an actual woman. Enter Jane.

Will two unsuccessful, undateable losers in love find companionship together?

Writer Steven Moffat explains OLIVER:
"Jane calls him a cross between a puppy and an idiot, which is only partly fair. His ex-girlfriend calls him a cross between brother and sister, which is mostly cruel. He's been in a relationship for seven years, and he's badly out of practice with women. But he still thinks he sort of knows his way around them. He swings between misplaced confidence and raptures of apology over his latest blunder. But underneath all his seeming sweetness and haplessness, he's angry at being dumped, angry at being on his own, and as Jane finds out, quite capable of turning on you if you push him far enough."
