Characters & Cast
Here are some of the characters from The Big Knights.
Sir Boris
The brother of Sir Morris and the finest swordsman in the World. An honest, upstanding citizen of Borovia, in an arrogant, aristocratic sort of way.
Voice: David Rintoul
Sir Morris
Enthusiastic, well intentioned and completely stupid, a combination more terrifying than a loose cannon. Loves nothing more than a right rollicking clash of swords and is a keen propagator of total mayhem.
Voice: Brian Blessed
Sir Horace the Dog
Sir Boris’ armour-plated pet dog. His keen intelligence and fine-tuned sense of smell assist The Big Knights on the quests. Unfortunately Horace is unable to communicate with them but the viewer gets to know what he’s thinking through thought bubbles.
Sir Doris the Hamster
Sir Morris’ armour-plated pet hamster. Doris’ only thought in life is for food. Pies, hams, roasts, bicycles, nothing even remotely edible is safe when Doris is hungry.
King Otto
A Parsimonious, arrogant, bumptious single parent and King of Borovia. He is easily manipulated by his two daughters, the Princesses Lucy & Loretta.
Voice: Timothy West
Princesses Lucy & Loretta
King Otto’s daughters. Always keen for adventure, and great admirers of the Big Knights.
Voice: Summer Strallen & Scarlet Strallen
Wizard Zababon
The ancient court wizard, employed by King Otto. He is thousands of years old and doesn’t like anything to do with the modern world. He is also quite smelly, surrounded by flies, and always speaks his mind.
Queen Melissa
The fabulously rich ruler of the neighbouring kingdom of Moridia.
There is a rumour that some time in the past, she was married to King Otto…
Voice: Prunella Scales
Sorceress Abigail
The court sorceress employed by Queen Melissa.
Voice: Kate Robbins
Professor von Proton
The brilliant but dangerously insane genius. The finest mind in Borovia.
When designing his inventions, safety is not his primary concern.
Voice: John Sparkes
Ethel Minion (Mrs)
The Big Knights’ loyal cook, cleaner and nanny. In fact she has looked after them since they were babies, although they’re not that aware of her.
Sisters Faith, Hope & Charity
Teachers and guardians to the Princesses Lucy & Loretta. They are very nervous when The Big Knights are around.
