Tony Smart



Tony Smart was Gary's flatmate from Season 2 onward. He is good looking and a semi-stud. He was played by Neil Morrissey. He used to own a record company.

Tony came on the scene in Series 2 and is the lodger helping Gary pay the bills but has yet to pay a penny in rent. In the old days Tony owned his own music business, but it collapsed. There was a high wind and, well, the stall blew down.

Tony spends most of his time with Gary down the pub, and even worked there for a while before becoming a postman (which earned him the nickname 'Nobby No-mates'). He also spends much of his time trying to impress Debs, by tattooing himself, offering to shave his pubic hair and buying her hundreds of Christmas presents (all of which Gary paid for because Tony let him borrow a Polaroid of Debs's bottom!).
