PATRICK (played by Ben Miles)

Very right wing, Patrick is Susan's "sort of ex."

He's not the most intellectual of men, but he has a couple talents which make him very popular with the ladies. (Not to mention the fact that he is a tripod.)

Because of a recent encounter with the "Melty Man," Patick realizes that he actually has feelings for his good friend Sally, but his past actions may come back to haunt him.

Writer Steven Moffat explains PATRICK:
"Patrick lacks complexity at any level. He's straightforward, unapologetic, and doesn't understand why other people don't view the world the way he does. He's wrongly thought of as a 'bastard', yet he's actually fairly honest with the others. He's a fan of cars and women and enjoys living well - just like most men do - yet he's completely unapologetic about it. Nevertheless, being the kind of guy he is, he manages to simply fall in love. Unlike Steve, he doesn't make a big fuss about it - for example, he'll realize Sally's the girl for him and then that's that. Patrick's fun because he's always that little bit simpler than the others and he just doesn't worry about things."
