Name: James Lester Played By: Ben Miller Facts: Sir James Lester is a Home Office official, ultimately responsible for the team of scientists charged with investigating the appearance of time anomalies. He's been given the task of uncovering the secrets of the anomalies and preventing mass panic. He’s the ideal man for the job. As far as he’s concerned the government knows best and the public has no right to know anything. He is arrogant, sarcastic and ruthless and makes no bones about his dislike of Cutter (or anyone for that matter). Despite being married with three children, he never discusses his family – in fact he rarely admits he even has one. Lester owns over 50 suits; all dark colours, all made to measure. He teams these with colourful ties. Someone told him once that that it was trendy – an image that he’s keen to promote. |
