Raymond has always been a flamboyant character which serves him well in his job working as a buffet steward on the railway. His customers would often remark 'You should so be on the stage Raymond'. So it was a happy chance when he met and married Tina and together they formed the perfect amateur showbiz couple. Raymond also fancies himself as a designer and loves to design and make the costumes for his shows. Raymond's one fear in life is creepy crawly things and has to rely on Tina to remove spiders from the bath. Raymond and Tina's daughter Lisa is very proud that her parents are in plays and shows but sometimes she could do with a little more time from her mum and dad, but being left with Granny Murray is the next best thing.
