People/CharactersWalter Whitmore

(Fictitious character)
Walter Whitmore is a beloved BBC broadcaster famous for his romantic musings on nature & country life. (He is particularly loved by people who have never lived in the country.) Son of Lavinia Fitch’s eldest sister, he was raised by his aunt since being orphaned at 15. He was engaged to the tempestuous actress Marguerite Miriam, until one day instead of crawling back, he ended the relationship. She committed suicide, but most people don’t blame Walter for having had enough. He has since become engaged to his step-cousin, Liz Garrowby, who is also Lavinia Fitch's secretary.
