Parker is the son of a {{knight|Fever}} (and former British Rail chairman), and, like Lynley, was educated at public schools ([[SeparatedByACommonLanguage private, for you Leftpondians]]). Small, on the other hand, is the daughter of a working-class single mother, grew up in the Glasgow tenements and attended the local [[TheGoodOldBritishComp comprehensive school]]. Parker says that when Small came to visit him at the beginning of their time working together, she took one look at his house and immediately turned into Havers! (By the time Sharon finished drama school in 1989, Parker had already had his big break in ''Pieces of Cake''.)

* AbilityOverAppearance: Creator/SharonSmall was supposedly too pretty to play the plain Barbara Havers, but absolutely nailed the character in the pilot and won author Elizabeth George completely over. Her performance is to this day lauded as one of the best aspects of the series.
