Josh Barker

Josh Barker is the middle child of the Barker children.

Background[]

Personality[]

Josh is devious and scheming, constantly inventing new and interesting scams to make money, and roping Brian into his latest schemes. His two best friends are Pete and Frankie. Although cunning, Josh is often outsmarted by his more quick-witted sisters, Mel and Lucy; he does not show much interest in school studies, hence his poor grades, although he has shown average signs of intelligence.

At school he normally clashes with Mr Whiteside, a strict and angry teacher who doesn't like Josh. Josh's scams sometime involved around stealing something from Whiteside, scamming him some way or trying to get out of previous trouble with him.

His interests include rollerblading, skateboarding, making money and "the gorgeous Tania Thomas". He also plays the guitar very well. Josh is most known for his scheming and betting (which almost every time he fails with.)

Appearance[]

Josh is the middle Barker child. He is small with spiky brown hair, all though over the years we see him grow older and taller. In Series 5 his voice breaks, as commented upon by Brian and Sophie in Age Concerns. Josh uses his deeper voice to his advantage by ringing Mr Whiteside pretending to be Brian, and claiming that Josh is ill and won't be going back to school. His plan backfires when Mr Whiteside discovers the truth and gives Josh a term of detentions.
