Summary

Wesley (Paul Barber) and Cyril (Philip Whitchurch) have the same mother, but different fathers. Wesley is half-caste, while Cyril is white.

The two brothers run a garage, selling used cars at "knock down prices". Both of them, however, have dreams of better things.

Wesley wants to be a rich, high-powered businessman, while Wesley wants to find fame and fortune as a singer.

Neither of the brothers has much chance of realising his ambitions.

The two brothers first appeared in an episode of Coronation Street in 1982. Played by Tony Osoba and Carl Chase, they were in the Rovers Return at Eddie Yeats' engagement party.
