List of Still Game characters
Thomas "Tam" Mullen is portrayed by Mark Cox. Tam is another resident of Craiglang. A self-confessed "miserable bastard", He is always tricking people into giving him free belongings or buying him a drink and is known for being unapologetically greedy if he can get something for nothing. He even went as far as winning a disabled man's mobility scooter in a game of Poker and refusing to give it back, despite being able-bodied. He enters competitions to get hold of free goods (which, much to the others' annoyance, he always wins), and in some episodes appears to be almost delirious at the thought of getting freebies. He married the local librarian, Frances Drummond, in the episode "Ring." Tam is a DJ at the Western General Hospital and often manages to con the terminally ill out of their valuable possessions. Tam's materialistic attitude often causes a rift between himself and his wife, but at 70, Tam became father to Tam Junior and Frances became Britain's oldest mum. Tam tends to be Winston's 'double act' partner. Winston was the best man at Tam and Frances’ wedding.
