Roland Michell

Roland Michell is a part-time research assistant to Professor Blackadder. He is 29 years old. Roland graduated from Prince Albert College, London in 1978 and received his PhD at Prince Albert College in 1985. He is a small man with a lot of soft, black hair and brown eyes. He tends to look tired and feels that his life is a disappointment. He does not really care what others think of him, though, so he is not self-conscious.

Roland met his girlfriend, Val, when he was 18 years old. They started taking classes together, joined the same clubs, became romantically involved, and moved into a one-room flat together in their second year. They have been stuck in the relationship ever since. Roland's father was an official in the County Council, and his mother was an English graduate, but she is disappointed with everything around her, including Roland and his father.
