Beck Enham

Rebecca Enham, universally known as "Beck", is the rather stern matriarch of the Enham family of South Kensington. She is wife to Tom and mother to Hillary and Syd; another son, Dag, works away from home. Her one pleasure is "junction spotting", a variant of trainspotting which involves observing road junctions. Like the rest of the Enhams, she eats rodents. We later find out that she grew up in north Devon.
