Charlie Burrows (Joe McGann) - A former footballer whose career was curtailed by injury, Charlie is also a single dad to daughter Joanna since his wife Debbie's death. Down on his luck and living in a deprived area of London, Charlie takes a housekeeper's job in Henley-on-Thames in the hope of giving Joanna a better life. Confident, charming and something of a joker, he is a contrast to the more serious Caroline, and helps to loosen her up over time. A running joke is that while Charlie sees himself very much as a traditional man, he enthusiastically embraces a stereotypically female job and its tasks.
