Main Characters
King Stupid (played in Series 1 by Marcus Brigstocke, and Series 2 by Phil Cornwell), an immortal who is the instigator of all stupidity . King Stupid has files on every human and can make them behave stupidly using an advanced computer system. The King resides in his castle in the Etherworld, a pan-dimensional realm with upside-down wall sockets, which is home to many Deed Monarchs, each of which rule over different aspects of human behaviour: Queen Sensible, King Angry, Count Cruel, and King Wonderful. The Ether World is also home to a myriad of ogres, imps, banshees, witches, boggarts and many other mythical creatures. Stupid is served by his gremlin butler Goober.
Stupid’s work (or rather, play) is made all the more difficult by his annoying purple gremlin butler Goober (Rusty Goffe), whom he constantly refers to as a "bog house rat". Goober goes out of his way to make the King’s life difficult. Goober is normally given a variety of boring tasks by Stupid such as going to the supermarket and taking out the rubbish. The love-hate relationship between the King and Goober provides a sitcom-style element to the show with a self-resolving story arc throughout each episode.
