Character Development: Jeffrey

Fonzworth Bentley: P-diddy's (Well known Hip-Hop artist) butler/ sidekick:

Fonzworth Bentley formally known as Derrick Watkins is known to be once hired as P-diddy's personal valet and assistant. One of his major roles involved shielding Sean Combs (P-diddy) with an umbrella to protect him from the sun or rain hence why most of his images are with him posing with an umbrella. Bentley is well aware of fashion and style. His quirky choice of dressing makes him a suitable prototype of a candidate for Vivienne's butler, Jeffrey.

One of Bentley's important duties

The relationship between him and P-diddy is not very formal he is also a friend to him but still holds a superb amount of respect for him. in a way we can say there is a correlation between Bentley and Jeffrey as he has a mind of his own and makes sure his opinion is heard and still knows his place as a butler or assistant. An example of this is Scene 3 where Jeffrey says, 'Vivienne you shouldn't have got rid of her...'

This is a perfect example of the level of freedom in Vivienne and Jeffrey's relationship regardless of the difference in working class.

  Alex (Nick Blood) in Material Girl BBC:  Alex is Davina's assistant as well as her gay flatmate. meaning there is a level of intimacy and friendship between the two of them as well as the duty of being her assistant. Gay assistants are very common in the fashion industry mainly because a gay guy is less likely to turn on you or fight for power where as a female would eventually do so if opportunity arises. There is also the privilege of getting a males insight or opinion when dealing with relationships or fashion. May be Jeffrey should be gay because Vivienne is the type of person who values loyalty and Jeffrey's character appears to be loyal. This is something the group can take into account when deciding on Jeffrey's characteristics.

Best of friends

Alex Met Ali at Davina's and they fast became best friends and flatmates. He often feels conflicted by Ali's rash decision to leave Davina's and gets caught in the Ali/Davina crossfire where his allegiances to Ali are tested. We can use this scenario for future radio dramas where Jeffrey is fund of Lauren and soon his loyalty to Vivienne is tested when Chris becomes more important to her and Jeffrey is no longer needed. This could be made possible because in our existing script (Scene 3)we have already shown how Jeffrey admires Lauren.
