Dennis: Tim Healy "Dennis never seems to want to be the boss. He's good at it but he always feels put-upon" Barry: Timothy Spall "He's more than just the butt of the jokes. This time he has a much more emotional story to go through." Moxey: Christopher Fairbank "Moxey has an interesting time in Havana. He discovers a little-known Cuban pastime – Guinea pig roulette!" Wyman: Noel Clarke "Wyman is a lot more involved this time and he has his own problems to add to those of the gang."

Oz: Jimmy Nail "One of Oz's main themes is the blossoming of his unlikely relationship with a beautiful Cuban prima ballerina." Neville: Kevin Whately "Neville's always said exactly what he thought even when it's got him in trouble!" Bomber: Pat Roach "He's got 10 years on most of the boys and is very much a father-figure. They look up to him."
