Dr Anthony Jamieson
Outward appearance
Grey hair, but young, pink face. Arran sweater with black trousers. Voluminous, shiny overcoat. In boisterous conversation with his companion, legs apart, apparently holding an invisible cup of coffee.Inside information
A GP with an enthusiasm for boating. He and his companion crew together. Both are visiting Buntleys Coachworks to hire a trailer to haul a very particular boat to The Boat Show.What he is doing or thinking
Telling his friend about a live videoconference from on board a Ship in the Fastnet boat race. The chairman kept lurching in and out of the picture. Tony mimes it. "He kept disappearing out of shot. Then he'd swing back in and start talking about sponsorship." Less experienced participants were flung about in the background. One of them suddenly leant overboard and vomited in shot."But there was this one old man. Nothing fazed him. He just stood there like this, absolutely unmoving. He looked a bit like a drunk, only he had a cup of coffee. And he stood there drinking it, like this..."
Tony mimes a superior looking man, with his coffee tacking back and forth across the air in slow progress towards his lips.
"He never said a word, he just kept looking at all these berks trying to have a serious business meeting the middle of a boat race."
Tony's wife is a serious, middle class woman tormented by the children's education and ecological issues. His work consists of prescribing happy pills to lonely old people.
"So," he suddenly says, "What's our next little adventure going to be?"
