A culturally ignorant and xenophobic Northern couple, introduced in series 2 and portrayed by Tate and either Derren Litten (series 2) or Nigel Betts (series 3) respectively, who express their disgust at meals they have been presented with at restaurants, usually based on either perceived over-pricing or the exotic nature of the food. They are also shown to be frustrated by the availability of such items in their locality, owing to comments such as "This were in Harrogate." After complaining about the food and prices, they use their most infamous catchphrase: "The dirty bastards!" or sometimes "The dirty, evil, robbing bastards!" Some of the foods that Janice and Ray express disgust at are; shiitake mushrooms (pronounced by them as "shit ache" mushrooms), grapes in brie cheese sandwiches, vegetable tempura and tentsuyu (described as "battered veg" with "spicy jam"), gazpacho and escargots. Another signature characteristic of Janice and Ray's story telling, is the rearranging of the order of their complaint (with pauses). For example, in the gazpacho sketch, they say that the "cold tomato soup" is "tomato... soup... cold", "soup... tomato... cold" and "cold... soup... tomato".
