Darren
"Darren," portrayed by Miles Jupp, is recently divorced and looks up to the Monty men for advice on navigating life. Stuck in his ways, Darren tends to take life quite seriously and his only real passion is for woodwork and crafting from his garage.

But after being laid off by his job, Darren’s beginning to question whether following the rules has ever really gotten him anywhere.
