Character Bio

Neil is a clinically depressed, pacifist, vegetarian and environmentalist working toward a Peace Studies degree. He is victimised by his housemates and forced to do the housework, shopping, cleaning and cooking. He is never acknowledged for it unless it goes wrong. Neil is pessimistic and believes everyone and everything hates him, although he does have three hippie friends - one also named Neil, one named Warlock and a female hippie named Stonehenge. This actually makes him the second most sociable character behind Vyvyan and also the only character to have a female friend. He dislikes most forms of technology except for TV and Video. He is also an insomniac, believing that sleep causes cancer. Neil wants the others to feel sorry for him, or just acknowledge his presence. He claims "the most interesting thing that ever happens to me is sneezing" - the force of which is sufficient to blow a door off its hinges.

Neil's parents are upper middle class Tories who look down on Neil for starring in such a disreputable comedy series. Neil also says 'heavy' frequently. He is a fan of Hawkwind, Marillion and Steve Hillage.

Rick: What is that little white dot?
Neil Pye: It's a little white dot.
Rick: Oh very clever.
Neil Pye: Must be really old telly.
Rick: What, hippie?
Neil Pye: It's a sign, that little white dot. It means something really heavy. It means there's no more telly, it's time to go to bed.
