Burke & Blair

Burke and Blair were fictional characters who appeared in the 1989 television series TUGS, created by the producers of Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends.

They were notorious scrap dealers, and scavengers. Burke was the one with a moustache, and Blair wore the glasses. They were always seen together, and had small appearances in many episodes across the series. Their most notable storyline was that of the time the tried to convince OJ he was ready for scrap, but failed to break the determined OJ.

They were often seen in the background of the series, most notably at the end of the episode 'Ghosts'. Their names come from the Edinburgh corpse sellers: Burke and Hare and they are sort of tugboat alternatives to their human counterparts, in that they deal in dead boats - not people.

The voice artist are as of yet unknown for both Burke and Blair, but in time they will be discovered.
