A native of Durham (emphatically not a Geordie). Quite possibly the most sarcastic person in the entire universe. He’s also the Protector of Cyprus.

• I’ve a theory that both left and right are actually all secretly members of the opposite political faction and that they’re engaged in a scheme to discredit the other side.

Landshark’s character is the chief pilot of the AH.com Ship, but often gets drafted into the security service. Several writers have expressed problems with trying to write his character as anything other than ‘Angry Brit’, a characterisation which he tends to react with, er, anger to. He and IronYuppie are in a long-standing sexual relationship where IronYuppie is clearly the dominant partner.

In the opening episode of Series 4 of the Series, KUNG FU BOB VS. THE CLONEMASTER, Dave Howery had Ian temporarily have all the writers make Landshark a heroic and much-admired character, or Landshark55 as Thande put it. Although this was only meant to be a one-episode joke, Landshark has continued to appear in more heroic roles in subsequent episodes, and this has become something of a running joke.

In Luaky Commer, Landshark fulfils the Professor Flitwick role, teaching Alternate Culture.

In AH.COM WARS Landshark was the real identity of ‘Darth Gaydar’ and luakel‘s father.

The character of Pete Chambers from Thande‘s Moonstruck was also based on him.

Appears in Doctor What’s Snake Oil, as Peter Chambers.
