Miles Mollison

Miles is the 43-year-old son of Howard and Shirley. He is married to Samantha and father to twin girls, Lexie and Libby. Together with Barry Fairbrother, he set up a solicitors firm in the village, and Miles relies on Barry as a friend and colleague.

Miles is helpless in the face of the combined will of his parents. He is unable to refuse Howard's suggestion that he stand for Barry's place on the council, which utterly frustrates Samantha. Miles always looks like the way life has turned out is one terrible surprise, while being utterly predictable at the same time.

Under torture, he might admit he was in despair. Without torture, he’d lie through his teeth and say he was content. He knows his marriage is in trouble, but seems powerless to do anything about it.
