Graham Hitchins

Graham Hitchins is Head of Sustainability for the London 2012 Olympic Deliverance Commission, a role nobody else in the office seems to take entirely seriously, least of all the people scheduling his meetings. He is earnest, quietly persistent, and forever explaining recycling targets to colleagues who are already looking past him toward the next crisis.

Karl Theobald plays him with a mild, put-upon patience that turns every scene into a small study of institutional invisibility — the one department nobody prioritises, embodied by the one man too decent to make a fuss about it. The comedy comes from watching sincerity survive contact with an organisation built on spin.
