and it features Woolfie
and 
William Sneath is the character that Robert Lindsay plays.
quote:
William Sneath is a chameleon-esque former polytechnic lecturer and social commentator. Initially he forms part of Paul’s eclectic salon at his country house. But when Paul crashes and burns, Sneath drops him. He’s a slipperty character who keeps cropping up, but he’s an observer rather than a doer.
Robert describes Sneath as, “the archetypal parasite. He’s making notes all the way through, but he never actually participates in anything. He’s a reptilian creature, always ready to denigrate his formally powerful friends when they’re on the way down.
He’s a complete social climber. He really knows how to use people. If he’s talking to someone, he’ll always be looking over their shoulder; if someone more important catches his eye, he’s off.”
