Maintaining decorum, control and even-temper amongst our three protagonists, is the unenviable responsibility of Samuel (the Butler). A man of great patience and calm; he finds both to be sorely tested by his three charges.
Originally ‘Gentleman’s Gentleman’ exclusively to the presumptuous thoroughbred Nigel; he has, for the good of the show, been obliged to expand his flock, to include the demands of both the smarmy Julian and the ever prickly Jimmy.
Always restrained, refined and resolute, he brings a certain ‘organised’ to the ‘chaos’ of buttling for these three divas; ensuring that they, and the show as a whole, starts, middles and ends as expected… and in the right order.
