Ivor the Bear

Ivor the Bear was stolen from a Russian circus during a cast and crew night out. Having woken up in the morning to find a bear in the bedroom, director Percy Voley vowed never to drink again and had the bear trained never to speak of it again. In the course of this training, Ivor picked up English, a GCSE in Electronics and Method Acting. To participate in CD Annex Mobile Seminar Suite, Ivor had to be shaved. After drawing lots, this task fell to Alfred Hyde who, being decidedly hairy already, was deemed to be capable of learning the most from the experience. He eventually recovered after four months in intensive care. Ivor has since become an integral member of the cast, apart from for the three brief weeks of contractual dispute in the middle of series 2, following a violation of his Bear Rights, during which he was dressed as Queen Victoria.
